A beautiful little piece of mid-century vanity history, this vintage petit point powder compact combines delicate floral embroidery with a classic gold-tone case and retains its original Juvena "Deep Bronze" powder insert.
The lid is decorated with finely stitched roses and blossoms in shades of pink, cream, blue, and soft green against a black background, framed by a warm gold-tone border that has developed a lovely aged patina. Opening the compact reveals the original mirror and removable powder pan, still bearing its Juvena label—a charming survivor from a time when luxury cosmetics were designed to be refilled rather than discarded.
Purchased in Germany, this compact reflects the refined craftsmanship of mid-century European vanity accessories and makes a wonderful addition to a collection of vintage beauty objects, petit point accessories, or decorative dressing table pieces. It is equally beautiful displayed on a vanity or carried as a conversation piece.
