A charming and rare vintage powder compact from the 1930s-1940s, showcasing classic French elegance. ​Design & Materials: ​Case: Made of high-quality early celluloid with a beautiful faux tortoiseshell finish on the sides and base. ​Lid: Features a classic "Scène Galante" (Gallant Scene) in the style of Rococo masters like Fragonard or Boucher, depicting a romantic couple in a pastoral garden. The image is set within a decorative brass frame with ornamental scrolling. ​Interior: Includes the original mirror and a very rare, well-preserved original swan down (marabou) powder puff in a delicate mint green shade. ​Condition Report: ​The compact is in good vintage condition for its age (approx. 80-90 years old). ​The celluloid body is intact with a lovely deep glow. ​The internal mirror shows some authentic age-related spotting (foxing) to the silvering, adding to its vintage character. ​The brass shows a natural patina and some wear to the gilding, as expected from a genuine antique vanity item. ​The hinge and clasp work perfectly. ​Dimensions: ​Width/Diameter: 7.5 cm ​Origin: France
