Description

Blue blossoms linger on a golden ground, a small garden kept for another season.

This rectangular Zenette compact gathers teal-blue, yellow, and softly coloured flowers among green leaves and pale curling outlines. Its warm golden-yellow lid is framed by a narrow gold-tone border, while the reverse carries an irregular network-like pattern.

A rectangular mirror faces a hinged inner powder cover with fine parallel ridges. The cover is marked Zenette and Made in England. Confirmed by the seller as new old stock, this is an unused vintage example rather than a newly manufactured compact, with very minimal age wear from its years in storage. A puff and slip pouch accompany it, as confirmed by the seller; their originality is not independently established.

Fine scratches, scattered small specks, and localised rubbing are visible around the exterior edges, catch, and interior hinge. The mirror shows scattered spotting in the photographs. The powder-compartment border has slight discolouration and visible fibres, while the photographed puff has a pale surface. These details are disclosed as age-related condition alongside the seller’s NOS identification; unused does not mean pristine. The slip pouch’s separate condition is not established by the supplied photographs. No sifter or box is promised in this listing.

A floral vanity treasure for a keeper drawn to quiet colour and the pleasure of discovering something held in reserve across the years. Photographic props are not included. Carefully nestled in its treasure coffin, a vault relic from Vaen’kai Vault.
