VINTAGE FABRIC & GILT COMPACT WITH LIPSTICK AND COMB

This very large - about 4 inches across - vintage compact has a fabric top and bottom.  I do not know who made it - it is only marked 'Germany'.  It has a lipstick container and a faux tortoiseshell comb.  It has obviously not been used.  I wonder where it has been all these years - in a drawer somewhere I presume - as the fabric is still in good condition.  Not a compact for a handbag - it would soon be worn - but to be displayed somewhere safe and enjoyed for years yet.  Price £125 ref: 3044 C61/14

This powder compact - for loose powder - is unused.  It is probably mid century.  The top is a piece of cared mother of pearl - what a lot of work!  It is immaculate.  Full details are on my web site.  So nice to get items in such good condition - I wonder where it has been stored all these years!  Ref: 2917 C37/3  Price £78
