This antique two-sided make up compact is just the sweetest. It has a mother of pearl enamel lid on both sides, embossed with hand painted pink roses and leaves in each corner.
The top opens to reveal the large mirror and the bottom hinges open where a powder puff could be stored. There is even the original lipstick holder along one edge. It opens and closes easily with tiny bronze push buttons. It measures about 3 in diameter and less than 2 1/2 and is in beautiful condition for uts age, with only minor scratching. Perfect addition to a compact collection or just to display on an antique vanity tray.
