Estee Lauder Regency Solid Perfume Compact

Collectibles : Vanity Items : Solid Perfume Compact : Estee Lauder

 

For the perfume compact collector, here's a beautiful early compact produced by Estee Lauder in 1974 called Regency. It is described as "an oblong rectangle with cut off corners, red enamel lid decorated with intricate golden oblong disc" by Roselyn Gerson, author of The Estee Lauder Solid Perfume Compact Collection 1967-2001. It is a gorgeous box, but the perfume has long ago been used leaving behind a lingering scent of the Youth Dew fragrance it once housed. The compact is in great condition except that the clasp does not hold closed (it could possibly be bent slightly so that it catches on the ridge) and the paper label is missing. The interior of the compact has the Estee Lauder name on the lid and an incised K on the bottom. Ms. Lauder modeled the compact after an object she found on an antique chatelaine. No box or pouch available.
