Vintage Deco Guilloche and Black Enamel and Handpainted Iris Marathon Compact
Great piece in original velvet lined box. This vintage compact in the art deco style is made by the marathon company and is very fancy indeed: beautiful checkerboard guilloche enamel with hand-painted iris design surrounded by a chic black enamel. Mechanism to open by squeezing the sides (so cool). Looks like it was rarely used, lipstick section still has its original foil.

Most of the powder remains as well and both yellow applicators nice and intact. Some age spotting to the mirror, but not distracting. Great mad men era accessory and wonderful collectible item 2 3/4 square. This item is made of enamel and guilloche, paint, velvet, mirror.
