Item Description
This unique vintage item holds everything the traveler will need to look her best, no matter where she might find herself. Dating from the 1920s or 1930s, these French ivory items for personal care are decorated with edging in dark blue. Each piece is held firmly in place for safe transport.
French ivory is an early manmade material created to resemble expensive natural ivory. This faux ivory is made from celluloid, a cellulose and camphor thermoplastic dating to the 1860s, and was widely used until the middle of the 20th century. It can be differentiated from natural ivory by its parallel lines rather than the crosshatched lines found in genuine ivory and by its lighter weight.
This one-of-a-kind vintage item is a collector's prize, ready to be exhibited on a boudoir wall.
