Vintage Elizabeth Arden “Ardena Invisible Veil” Powder Box with Floral 3D Lid + Bonus 1962 Mini Container
Beautiful vintage Elizabeth Arden “Ardena Invisible Veil” powder box, featuring a charming floral bouquet design on the lid with a raised, layered plastic top that gives the design a subtle three-dimensional effect. The box has a soft pink body with gold-tone trim and a decorative floral border, giving it a lovely mid-century vanity or boudoir display look.
The bottom is marked Ardena Invisible Veil, Elizabeth Arden, New York / Paris / London, with shade information visible as Shade 1 Rachel. The box is empty.
Elizabeth Arden was one of the most important names in 20th-century beauty. Founded by Florence Nightingale Graham, who became known professionally as Elizabeth Arden, the company grew from her famous New York salon into an international cosmetics and fragrance brand. Arden was known for luxury beauty presentation, elegant packaging, skincare, makeup, and the iconic red-door salon image. Her products were marketed as sophisticated and modern, and vintage Elizabeth Arden packaging remains collectible today for vanity, cosmetic advertising, and boudoir displays.
Based on the design and packaging style, this powder box likely dates to approximately the late 1940s to 1950s, possibly into the early 1960s.
Also included is a small bonus vintage screw-top plastic container with a floral decoration on top. The small container is marked Made in Hong Kong, © 1962. It is not believed to be original to the Elizabeth Arden box, but it displays nicely alongside it as a vintage vanity accessory.
