Story
The 1950s and 60s saw a massive cultural shift where American women sought to bring the cinematic glamour of Hollywood stars like Elizabeth Taylor into their own homes.
Maker / Origin
While often unsigned, pieces of this distinct weight and pattern are typically the work of Matson or Stylebuilt, two American companies that dominated the vanity accessory market.
Condition & Value
The exterior filigree appears to be in excellent condition with no visible 'pitting' or significant wear to the gold finish. Value is driven by the condition of the gold plating and whether the original glass or plastic liner is still inside.
