Description

White wings rise from deep blue water, a small family sheltered beneath a flowering border.

This vintage Kigu powder compact frames a swan and its cygnets against a rich blue ground. Pink and lilac blossoms, green foliage, and fine ripples surround the birds, lending the square lid the intimacy of a miniature waterside scene. The swan’s lifted wings and curved neck give the decoration movement without disturbing its quiet mood.

The gold-tone case has a textured reverse with a framed geometric border. Inside, a square mirror faces a circular powder compartment. Kigu of London and Made in England marks are visible along the interior. The seller records the compact as used and in great overall condition, supplied with a sifter, puff, and its original box.

The close-ups show rubbing and localised loss of the gold-tone finish along the edges, clasp, and hinge, together with surface scratches, small dark marks, and discolouration on the metalwork. Small surface marks are also visible on the blue decoration. These details are disclosed alongside the overall condition assessment; please examine the photographs carefully.

A waterside vanity relic for a keeper drawn to feathered grace and little scenes of refuge. Carefully nestled in its treasure coffin, a vault relic from Vaen’kai Vault.
