Vintage Gilt Powder Compact, Kigu Party Case
Kigu Ltd. was a British compact manufacturer founded by Victor Kiaschek in 1939 in London.
The brand became famous for high-quality, ornate, and often gold-plated powder compacts, minaudières, and vanity cases.
Kigu's designs were inspired by Art Deco, floral engravings, and mid-century luxury trends.
A typical Kigu Party Case was designed to hold everything a woman needed for a night out: pressed powder compact with a mirror, lipstick holder, cigarette case or card holder, and sometimes a small compartment for money or a dance card.
Many were gilt (gold-plated) or silver-tone, featuring engraved patterns, filigree designs, or even enamel inlays.
