Vintage Celluloid Powder Compact Romantic Courting Scene Compact Mirror Vanity Compact 8.5cm
A wonderfully romantic vintage powder compact featuring an elegant tapestry-style courting scene framed by ornate gold scrollwork against an ivory celluloid effect surround. The lid depicts beautifully dressed Georgian or Rococo-style figures gathered in a garden terrace setting, giving the piece a soft, theatrical old-world charm reminiscent of vintage French boudoir decor.
This compact has a lovely large mirror inside and retains its original powder pad. The decorative top has a gentle aged softness to the print which suits the romantic aesthetic beautifully. The reverse has an ivory marbled appearance with visible patina and a hairline crack to the reverse panel as shown clearly in the photographs.
A particularly decorative vanity piece with a very different look to typical mid-century powder compacts, ideal for collectors who love romantic scenes, French revival styling, or unusual vanity accessories.
Measures approximately 8.5cm diameter (approx. 3.3 inches).
A beautiful display piece that feels straight from a faded dressing table in a grand old manor house — wonderfully atmospheric and full of vintage character.
