Lovely vintage powder compact of rectangular shape, made of gilded brass , the lid being decorated with a checkerboard of mother-of-pearl plates with soft and iridescent reflections.
The interior is equipped with its mirror , its sifter and a swan's down puff , characteristic elements of mid-20th century vanity compacts.
This type of object accompanied daily beauty routines and naturally found its place in a handbag or on a dressing table.
The powder compact has a brass patina , more pronounced on the back, as well as a small mother-of-pearl missing in one corner , to note. These traces of use are linked to its age and do not alter its charm or solidity.
An elegant and authentic toilet accessory, typical of the 1950s , ideal for a vintage collection or as a beautiful decorative object.
