1950's Marhill Mother of Pearl Compact

A 1950s Marhill compact finished in mother-of-pearl, with broad shell panels framed by engraved gold-tone detailing. Marhill was known for mid-century vanity accessories that balanced practical use with the feel of fine personal objects, and this compact carries that same jewelry-like presence. The geometric construction and restrained ornament give it a polished, feminine character that feels as natural on a dressing table today as it would have in the 1950s.
