Vintage 1950s Powder Compact – Tortoiseshell Wood Effect Gold Floral Lid, Made England (7cm)

A beautiful vintage 1950s powder compact featuring a rich tortoiseshell Wood effect lid, delicately decorated with a gold floral design. This classic mid-century piece captures the warmth and elegance of the era, with its glossy amber tones and softly detailed roses creating a timeless, feminine look.

Made in England, this compact has a lovely weight and quality feel, with a finely engine-turned gilt base typical of British compacts from the period. The lid has a gentle domed finish, giving it a subtle depth and sheen when it catches the light.

Inside, the compact retains its original mirror and powder well. The interior is clean overall, though there is light age-related wear as expected. The mirror remains usable, and the compact closes securely.

Condition is good vintage, with visible surface scratches to the lid and general wear consistent with age and use. These do not detract from its overall charm and it still displays beautifully.

A classic and affordable addition to any vintage vanity collection, or a lovely everyday compact with genuine mid-century character.

Diameter: 7cm (approx. 2.75 inches)
