Description
Vintage Kigu gold-plated with English rose design convertible powder compact from the 1960s. Original box. From the 81 Series.
This beautiful convertible powder compact is from the 81 series, and is striking. The lid is brushed gilt and has a gorgeous gold-plated rose design plaque. It is in excellent, unused condition.
Inside it is in a very good unused order with a clear mirror. When you press the outside catch, the instant release inner mechanism releases the lugs that hold the sifter, or pressed powder pan, when in place.
It comes boxed with powder sifter (marked 'Kigu-plus patented') and the original 'Kigu of London' protector. There is no puff or pouch which may have been present with the compact originally.
It is catalogue number 81011. This compact measures 8.2cm or 3 1/4 ins in diameter.

Excellent unused condition. Original box. No powder puff or pouch (if these were even part of the compact originally). There is a small hand-written note on the top of the box (see photos) but it’s unclear what this is except part of this item’s long history.
