Vintage Petit Point Gilt Trinket & Powder Box – Made in England with Original Box
-
This exquisite vintage Petit Point trinket box, made in England, is a fine example of mid-20th-century vanity ware. Crafted from ornate gilt metal in a Rococo revival style, the box features beautifully embossed scrolling and floral patterns, resting elegantly on small decorative feet.
-
The domed lid is adorned with a delicate hand-stitched Petit Point embroidery panel, protected beneath convex glass, depicting a romantic spray of pink roses and forget-me-nots. Inside, the box is fitted with a mirror, a soft powder puff, and a mesh sifter, confirming its original use as a powder compact, though it also makes a charming jewellery or trinket holder today.
-
Still housed in its original patterned presentation box marked “Petit Point Rd/Trinket Box No 51 – Made in England”, this piece would have once graced a lady’s dressing table as both a practical and decorative accessory. The presence of the original puff, sifter, and box makes this a particularly sought-after survivor.
-
A perfect gift for collectors of vintage vanity items, Petit Point embroidery, or decorative trinket boxes, this charming piece remains as elegant as the day it was made.
