An unusual vintage Mascot powder compact combining a distinctive half-moon shaped case with a floral petit point needlework panel.
Rather than painted enamel, the decoration is created through tiny coloured stitches, giving the floral design a texture and softness that changes completely when viewed up close.
The curved gold-tone case opens to reveal its mirror and powder fittings.
This example is especially appealing because it appears unused, allowing both the compact and its textile decoration to be appreciated without the heavier handling often seen on vintage petit point pieces.
The combination of its unusual crescent-like shape and needleworked floral panel makes this much more than another pretty floral compact — it is a lovely meeting of traditional needlework and mid-century vanity design.
