Art Deco Powder Box by Mury with Outer Box, Le Narcisse Bleu Bronze, around 1930 Antique, Poudre de Riz

This beautiful and extremely rare antique cardboard box from the legendary rice powder line "Poudre de Riz - Le Narcisse Bleu" by the Parisian perfume house Mury dates from the heyday of Art Deco between 1925 and 1938. The iconic design featuring stylized narcissi on a deep blue background is among the finest classics in French boudoir history. Measuring approx. 5.8 cm in diameter and approx. 2.2 cm in height, it is the classic powder box in the popular shade "Bronze", offered here together with its original, matching square outer box.

On the bottom, alongside the shade designation and the mark Made in France, is the rare bilingual ASPA seal for the Belgian import market. The outer box also bears the matching shade designation Bronze. The round cardboard box as well as the outer box are wonderfully preserved: The original powder contents as well as the original protective film are still contained inside; a powder puff is not included. Fine cardboard packaging by Mury was produced only during this era up until the end of the 1930s. An exclusive collector's item for lovers of historical Art Deco boudoir decoration; signs of wear corresponding to age; the object is offered without a display.
