A mid-century vanity compact featuring a woven gold brocade fabric finish with an integrated side lipstick holder and comb sleeve. The hinged lid opens to reveal a powder compartment complete with its original sifter mesh and soft puff, though the interior mirror is no longer present.
This all-in-one mid-century accessory was designed to slip neatly into an evening bag, allowing for quick hair and makeup touch-ups on the go. Dating from circa 1950, the top sleeve was originally made to hold a small comb, while the side tube retains its brass lipstick bullet casing.
Dimensions when closed: 9.5 x 11cm Weight: 160g
Condition: Good condition overall with a working clasp and sound inner hinges. The interior mirror is missing, and the metallic brocade shows light surface wear and minor vintage makeup marks, with gentle tarnish to the internal brass lining.
This charming piece would suit vintage vanity collectors, retro dressing table displays, or theatrical period prop styling.
