Vintage Enamel Guilloche & Sterling Silver Powder Compact by the renowned silversmith Henry Clifford Davis.  Stamped by the Queen's Jewelers, Garrard & Co. this is a beautiful example of craftsmanship from the 1950's.  Fully hallmarked Sterling Silver, Birmingham, with the letter stamp N which I believe dates it to 1953.  The sweet pea design was a popular decorative element on these ladies compacts in the mid-20th century.  Designed to hold loose face powder it has a clear reflective mirror and swansdown puff.  Good opening closing mechanism, sound hinges and no enamel loss.
 
Hallmarked Sterling Silver, Birmingham.  "Made in England.  GARRARD & Co LTD, 112 Regent St. W".  Established in 1880 Garrard & Co were famous at this time for being the Crown Jewelers.
Weight: 98 grams.
