Vintage Portrait Loose Powder Compact | Marie Antoinette-Style Vanity Powder Jar with Mirror
A substantial mid-century loose powder compact featuring a romanticized Marie Antoinette-style portrait surrounded by ornate raised floral and scroll metalwork.
The portrait transfer depicts an elegantly dressed Rococo-style lady with powdered hair, pink roses, and a soft blue ribbon. Decades of patina across the metalwork give the piece a beautifully aged appearance and wonderful decorative character.
The compact retains its original glass insert for loose powder as well as the original mirror mounted inside the lid. At more than a pound and a half, it has a surprisingly substantial weight in hand.
