Description

Superb! - White Guilloche Enamelled Silver Powder Compact - Fully Hallmarked for respected silversmith Deakin & Francis of Birmingham 1936 - it is in super condition with the sunburst enamelling absolutely beautiful! - measuring 2.3/4" inch (7.2cm) dia, it is octagonal in shape - all clasps and hinges in good order, opening to reveal a clean empty powder well and a clear round mirror - showing only very minute signs to the silver, engine turned base commensurate with age and having been pre-loved it is in lovely order and will certainly not disappoint the most discerning of buyers - this white enamelling is so difficult to find in this sort of fabulous condition.

Founded in 1786, Deakin & Francis is today, seven generations later, still owned and managed by the Deakin family (James, Henry and David Deakin).
