Vintage 1940s Embroidered Rowenta Silver Powder Compact

A vintage 1940s Rowenta silver powder compact is a beautiful example of mid-century design and craftsmanship. These compacts, made in Germany, are highly sought after by collectors for their quality and intricate details. The exterior of the compact is typically made of silver-plated metal, and the "embroidered" effect mentioned is likely a delicate guilloché pattern. This technique involves engraving a repetitive, intricate design onto the metal, creating a texture that resembles fine needlework or lace. The pattern is swirl, a series of lines, or a more ornate floral motif. Inside, the compact contains a mirror, a space for loose powder, and a compartment for a powder puff. The hinge and clasp are well-made and still functional, a testament to the quality of Rowenta's manufacturing. Compacts are signed with the "Rowenta" mark stamped on the inside. The overall aesthetic is one of elegance and sophistication, reflecting the glamour and style of the 1940s. The compact comes with the original snifer. The compact measures 6.5 x6cm.
