Art Deco 1930s Gwenda Foil Backed Picture Powder Compact

On offer is this 1930s powder compact manufactured by the British factory of Hussey Dawson and marketed under the familiar "Gwenda" trade name. This powder compact measures 8 cm in width and 5 cm in height. The case is made of chrome metal and the base is glossy black enamel. The lid features a galleon ship at sea and the picture is reverse printed under a protective celluloid covering and then mounted over shiny blue foil. The case has firm hinge and traditional Gwenda scalloped thumb catch and opens to reveal a chrome interior. Under the lid is a polished metal mirror and the open powder well in the base is empty. This highly collectable 1930s powder compact is offered in good condition. The case has no dents or dings. The picture lid has good, bright retained colouring and the black enamel base has some normal age and usage marks. The chrome metal is generally good with some minor spots of tarnish. Thank you for looking.
