This is a rare and special find! - Beautiful and in the best of condition, this fabulous Art Deco powder compact dating c. 1930 is a delight! - Signed to the rear for TLM (Thomas Mott) of England, and set to a gilded base, it depicts an unusual scene of a boy sat on the river fishing - using the butterfly wing tehcnique - this is a fine colourful example of the art that was very popular during the 1920/30 Art Deco period the top is lovely without any damage (excuse the light reflection!) Measuring c. 2" inch diameter all clasps and hinges are perfect, opening to reveal a nice clear interior, with a high polish mirror and a metal fitted sifter - very nice, I doubt this little beauty has seen the light of day for many years!

Thomas Mott (TLM) exhibited his beautiful reversepainted butterfly wing antique jewellery and novelties at the British Empire Exhibition of 1924. His company was the largest producer of butterfly wing jewelry in the 1920"s/1930"s. Becoming a favourite accessory of the Art Deco period, these pieces are now becoming highly sought after and collected.
