In June 1931 the Richard Hudnut salon opened its new building at 693 Fifth Avenue. Here was another business contributing in making the ten block stretch from 50th to 60th Streets the most posh shopping center in the United States. It was New York’s equivalent of the Rue de la Paix in Paris or Bond Street in London. This is where all the high society ladies came to shop, lunch and gossip. And the chic, new Hudnut salon became one of their popular destinations. Ladies could purchase cosmetics, perfume, get a manicure, facial treatment or take exercise classes. The 1939 film
The Women,
perfectly parodies the Hudnut salon as the fictitious Sydney’s. (excerpt taken from https://www.drivingfordeco.com/vanished-new-york-city-art-deco-the-richard-hudnut-salon/)
The Richard Hudnut Salon closed in 1955, making this box (at minimum) 66 years old. Considering it's age, it is in very good condition. See photos for most accurate description.
