Rare Vintage Wadsworth Powder Compact Novelty Vanity Table

This charming whimsical Wadsworth powder compact dates circa 1950 and was known as the Vanity Table compact. It is made of gold tone metal with folding bowed legs, looped lid framing with crowns and fleur de lys and is said to be modelled on the dressing table of Marie Antoinette. The case has firm hinge and secure catch and opens to reveal a shiny polished gold tone interior. The hinged inner powder well door is marked Wadsworth and the case has the original Wadsworth marked puff The case measures 7.5 cm by 5 cm and is 4.5 cm in height. Offered in good condition with no dents or dings to the case. There are a couple of small marks to the external mirror which however retains a very good reflection, some minor metal tarnish to the legs and the inside of the powder well and normal age and usage marks but nothing too detrimental. Collapsible legs are in good working order. Very nice compact in very good condition.
