122 - “Fiancée,” Toiletry Set

“Fiancée,” Toiletry Set WOODWORTH, New York — “Fiancée” — Toiletry Set A young fiancée’s toiletry set from the Roaring Twenties: a perfume, a mirror, and a cloud of powder to get ready for the big day. The rectangular box, with a hinged lid, is lined with beige textured paper. The top is draped with orange silk adorned with a golden rosette, and the inside of the lid is dotted with three golden roses, like a bouquet. The case is lined with draped orange silk. 16 × 9 × 4 cm. It contains: - a clear, rectangular glass bottle, molded at the base with a design of stylized frosted flowers. It is topped with a molded frosted glass stopper and retains its sealing wire. It bears its original embossed label, titled “Fiancée - Woodworth - New York.” 6 × 4 × 1.5 cm; - a gilded metal powder compact with a scalloped shape, featuring a brown-lacquered lid decorated with a grid pattern of orange blossoms. It opens to reveal a mirror marked “Fiancée - Woodworth,” where the bride-to-be could check her appearance, and contains two compartments—one for powder and the other for rouge—each with its own powder puff sheathed in orange silk. A complete and charming set that fully lives up to the promise of its name.
