Catalog of the exhibition The Century of Powder Compacts - Beauty Powder and its Boxes, presented at the International Perfume Museum, Grasse (May 28 - October 3, 2021).
The International Perfume Museum in Grasse and the Forney Library in Paris are co-organizing an exhibition devoted to beauty powder and its cases from 1880 to 1980 around the private collection of Anne de Thoisy-Dallem, presented for the first time to the public.
The International Perfume Museum continues its discovery of the world of 20th century perfume and cosmetics by focusing on the history of beauty powder and its frivolous and whimsical universe.
If the use of powder is centuries old, it is during the 20th century that it developed both from a technical and chemical point of view, but also in its uses and its containers: the powder compact and the powder. powder box.
This period of profound transformation saw a mass influx of various powder compacts, both in their forms and in their materials. This serial production is a reflection of society at the turn of the 20th century, both in the evolution of mores and in female emancipation.
