Art Deco 1930s Gwenda Foil Backed Picture Camera Case Powder Compact / Vanity Case with Lipstick

On offer is this attractive 1930's camera case vanity powder compact manufactured by the British factory of Hussey Dawson and marketed under the familiar "Gwenda" trade name. The case measures 8 cm by a maximum of 5 cm and is made of chromium metal with pink enamelled surfaces. The spring hinged inset lid has a picture of a crinoline lady in a flower garden. The picture is reverse printed under a protective celluloid covering and then mounted over sparkling silver foil. Under the lid is a polished metal mirror and the frame around the mirror is marked Gwenda Made in England. The mirror is clear and reflective. The powder well in the base is empty of powder but retains the original black edged sifter. On the outside of the case is a concealed lipstick case which pulls out correctly. It has a slider mechanism and contains tiny amount of remaining lipstick. This highly collectable 1930's powder compact is offered in good pre-used condition. The pink enamelled surfaces have a couple of very light pin prick losses and the case has some shallow dents to the back visible in certain light. The spring hinged door opens and closes correctly, the internal mirror is clear and reflective and the picture lid has good retained colours with some powder leakage showing on the foil sky. Thank you for looking.
