Details
Fine, ruler-straight lines are engraved across the face of this Cartier compact, fanning out like a rising sun from a
small stepped fan of 14k yellow gold at the base, the sunburst being one of the most beloved motifs of the Art Deco
age. Down the center of that gold fan runs a column of three carré cut sapphires, weighing approximately 0.70 carat
in total, their square step cuts echoing the geometry of the case itself and adding a small, vivid stripe of cornflower
blue to an otherwise cool, silvery surface. Crafted in sterling silver and 14k yellow gold, hallmarked with the Cartier
signature and purity mark, the contrast between the white metal and the warm gold makes the little fan stand out like
a jewel on a field of light. Measuring 1.37 by 1.37 inches and weighing a dense 84.94 grams, it has a satisfying, cool
weight in the palm that suggests real craftsmanship, a feel no modern powder case can match. Circa 1930, a compact
was both a daily ritual and a showpiece, carried in an evening bag and opened at the table with some ceremony. A
wonderful find for a collector of Cartier or Art Deco objects, or for anyone who would enjoy it on a dressing table or
desk.
