Kigu Powder Compact Collectable
$30
SHIPPING OFFERED
Hi I have for sale a vintage KIGU Powder Compact, it is unused and could do with a clean and polish. It still has the original tag attahed.
It has "MADE IN ENGLAND" and "PATENTED" stamped into the metal surround around the mirror.
The name of Kigu originates from the first two letters of the surname and forename of its founder Gustav Kiashek. Gustav was of Hungarian origin and was the son of the master goldsmith Josef Kiashek. He produced compacts from his workshop in Budapest.
His sons carried on the business in London where this one originated from.
Essentially they are considered to be an item of jewellery / jewelry, as well as a practical accessory. In the days when ladies powdered their noses, every handbag had to house a powder compact.
