Rare Vintage 1950s Zip Around Lucite Powder Compact – Hand Decorated Floral Vanity Compact – Marbled Faux Mother of Pearl Makeup Compact

£59.95

A beautifully unusual vintage zip-around powder compact dating to the 1950s, featuring a luminous marbled Lucite (acrylic) shell with an elegant faux mother of pearl appearance. The lid is exquisitely decorated with hand-applied raised floral detailing in vibrant pinks, blues, greens and gold, creating a charming three-dimensional design that perfectly captures the romance of the mid-century era.

Unlike the more commonly found hinged powder compacts, this scarce design opens with a full metal zip to reveal the original mirror and powder compartment. Its distinctive construction and decorative finish make it a wonderful addition to any vintage vanity collection.

The compact measures approximately 7.5 x 7 cm and retains its original mirror, powder compartment and working metal zip. The interior remains complete with its original lining and shows gentle signs of age consistent with its vintage nature. The exterior displays beautifully, with only light age-related wear expected of an item of this age.

Whether displayed on a dressing table or added to a collection of unusual vanity accessories, this is a delightful and rarely encountered mid-century compact with timeless appeal.

A charming and increasingly hard-to-find piece for collectors of vintage compacts, Lucite vanity accessories and distinctive mid-century design.
