Back to a more elegant and innocent time...full fluffy sleeves, flowing gowns, hats, hair ornaments...all designed to bedeck mm'lady. The top is ornamented with a radiating spidery design, centered with a lovely round medallion...then, hand-painted swags and flowers on four sides...add that to the fabulous embossed gilt design on the perimeter and scalloped edges...LOVELY!!! This wonderful keepsake of womenly conceit has a smooth dove grey enameled back (some mild wear and discoloration here).

| Open the compact to an unblemished metal mirror which conceals a rouge pat and puff (La Mode trademark name by hinge in 1/16" letters...impossible for me to photograph!) inside...opposite a loose powder and puff ensemble. This item was used...but, only lovingly so. The stunningly beautiful enamelled and hand-painted front shows no wear. Only the back side had indications of being lifted and then replaced on m'ladys vanity stand. What a great addition to your collection!!! |
