A vintage Boots powder compact from the 1950s, combining classic gold-tone styling with a lovely piece of British high-street cosmetic history.
The compact retains its mirror and powder compartment, together with its original fabric pouch and paper insert.
The listing also identifies the mirror as hand-cut, a detail that gives an otherwise relatively simple compact considerably more period interest.
There are marks to the gold-tone finish from storage and handling, but the original fittings and accompanying pieces remain together.
Long before disposable make-up packaging became the norm, a Boots powder compact could be a proper personal possession — bought once, carried, refilled and kept.
A particularly nice survivor because its original pouch and paperwork help preserve that story.
