Bourjois "Soir de Paris" Face Powder Box - «Fabbricata in Casalecchio di Reno» - '30s-'40s

Elegant little box of Bourjois “Soir de Paris” face powder, dating back to the 1930s-1940s. Launched on the market in 1929, the cosmetic, still provided with its content inside, shows a cardboard packaging in a sumptuous midnight blue, decorated with funny silver miniature figures engaged in night activities, repeated on the edge and alternated with French historical icons, such as the Eiffel Tower or the Arc de Triomphe of Paris: a rare leaflet with advices for use completes the set. Despite a certain degree of wear at the advertising bottom of the box, still displaying the original sale price of «₤3.50» - see photos -, the item is sold in good general conditions, and preserves intact all the allure of the gallant years it comes from!
