Rare 1920s African American Flapper Photo Trinket Box Jazz Age Vanity Black

An exceptional and rare original Jazz Age trinket / vanity box featuring a genuine 1920s photographic portrait of a stylish African American flapper. The lid is inset with a real period photograph (not a reproduction) showing a glamorous young woman in a flapper dress and heels, posed outdoors with wonderful confidence and charm. The box itself is made of early celluloid (or similar early plastic), typical of high-quality vanity items from the late 1920s-early 1930s. Pieces like this are increasingly difficult to find, particularly with. Flapper / Jazz Age fashion.

Vanity or personal accessory format. Highly sought after by collectors of Black Americana, Harlem Renaissance-era material, vintage photography, and antique vanity objects.

Very good antique condition for its age. Light surface wear consistent with nearly 100 years of history. Please review all photos closely as they are part of the description. This is a beautiful, historically important object that displays wonderfully and represents an under-preserved chapter of American visual culture.

A true collector's piece.
