Art Deco Evans Powder Compact c.1930

1930s powder compact 5.3cm in diameter made of white metal with attractive machine turned pattern to the base. The lid has chased silver tone border and raised decorative geometric lines and flowers upon a cold painted enamel ground in two shades of blue. Hinges and catch are firm and secure and the compact opens to reveal a polished metal mirror under the lid which is clear and reflective. The powder well in the base has a turning dial mechanism which can be left open to replenish, on sifft to dispense powder and closed when not in use. There is also a little clip on the dial to hold a puff which is no longer present. Offered in good condition with no dents or dings to the case and wear or tarnish to the silver tone finish. The enamel lid has a few pin prick losses but nothing too obtrusive.
