A simple but beautifully made British mid-century powder compact, relying on patterned metalwork rather than enamel or applied decoration.
Made in England but unbranded, the compact measures approximately 8.5 cm diameter and has a brushed gold-tone finish with a circular geometric pattern across the lid.
Inside are the original mirror and generously sized powder compartment.
There are light surface scratches and small marks to the gold-tone finish from previous use, while the mirror remains intact.
Its restrained design is very typical of the period — practical, substantial and decorative without being elaborate.
A good example of the everyday British powder compact: not a grand collector piece, but exactly the sort of attractive handbag accessory that would once have been used rather than simply admired.
