RARE! 1930s Karl Palda 5-Piece Art Deco Vanity Set
$2,650
✨ An exceptional 1930s Czechoslovakian Art Deco 5-piece vanity and toiletry set designed by the iconic Karl Palda workshop (Nový Bor / Haida). This stunning, authentic set has been meticulously preserved as a single-family heirloom passed down directly from my great-grandmother. It features Palda’s signature bold geometric architecture, boasting heavy, hand-cut crystal bases with striking, razor-sharp opaque black enamel triangles and stepped parallel lines and deeply faceted clear glass. 🤍 Handed down from my great-grandmother, this treasured family set has been lovingly used and displayed across generations and is looking for a new home where it will be loved and admired. The five pieces weigh approximately 5 pounds combined, before packaging. 🖤 Coordinated black triangles, rectangular panels and clear accent borders create a dramatic contrast against the substantial cut glass. Angular bases, beveled edges and sculptural glass finials give the set its distinctive Art Deco character. 🎁 The Complete 5-Piece Configuration Includes: • Tall Perfume Scent Bottle: Features its original, towering, flat-faceted diamond glass stopper (perfect fit). • Atomizer Perfume Bottle: Retains its original period-correct chrome metal pump mechanism. • Lidded Powder / Jewelry Box: Topped with a matching geometric cut-crystal finial handle. • Central Pedestal Ring Holder: Sharp geometric dish with a central crystal spindle. • Open Soap / Trinket Tray: Elongated octagonal design perfectly mirroring the geometric motif. 📏 Approximate heights: stoppered perfume bottle 7 inches including stopper; atomizer 4 inches; covered jar 4½ inches including knob. Please see the measurement photographs for further dimensions. 📸 CONDITION: Beautiful overall presentation, with small signs of approximately 90+ years of loving use. Tiny chips, minute edge nicks and light surface scratches are present. Please enlarge the photographs to examine these details, particularly around rims, edges and the perfume-bottle stopper. 🔎 There are small scattered imperfections and losses to the black enamel decoration. Many are difficult to notice with the naked eye and become clearer under magnification or close inspection. 🌸 The atomizer bottle retains slight residue from previously used perfume. Its metal fitting shows spotting, pitting and wear to the finish. I have been unable to make it spray, and cannot determine whether this is a mechanical issue or unfamiliarity with its operation. It is therefore offered with the spray mechanism presumed non-working and potentially requiring servicing. 💎 The stoppered perfume bottle has tiny imperfections consistent with use. The soap dish, ring-holder dish and covered jar remain in great overall condition, subject to the minor age-related wear described above. 🏷️ No maker’s marks or original labels have been found on any of the pieces. The vast majority of Karl Palda's production never featured an engraved signature or stamp on the crystal itself. 📷 Photographs form an important part of the description. Please review all images carefully for condition, decoration, measurements and the small imperfections associated with this well-loved family set. Additional photographs are available on request. 🚭 From a smoke-free home.
