Crafted by Elgin American under their elegant Fifth Avenue line, this rare vintage compact reflects the refined vanity accessories of mid-20th-century America. The gold-tone case opens to reveal a luminous mother-of-pearl base, prized for its natural iridescence and timeless beauty.
The exterior features delicate floral engraving and a classic monogrammed cartouche, while the interior retains its original powder insert. Completing the piece is the original velvet pouch, a detail seldom found and highly desirable among collectors.
Both functional and decorative, this compact makes a stunning vanity display, a meaningful collectible, or an heirloom-worthy “something old” for a bride.
