Kunik Petie Vanity (marble, gold)
The Kunik Petie Vanity is a sub-miniature novelty camera built into a compact ladies' vanity case, combining a small camera with cosmetic compartments. The marble-and-gold finish is one of the decorative variants produced for this line.
Sales data is extremely limited: a single recorded UK auction hammer result of £540 in November 2018 is the only reference point, so today's value should be regarded as indicative rather than established. Because this is a wholesale saleroom figure, retail asking prices for comparable examples can run higher, and condition of the vanity case fittings has a strong influence on what one sells for.
Sales History
Prices shown are UK auction hammer results — the wholesale level achieved in the saleroom. Neither buyer’s nor seller’s commission is included. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
