Sterling Silver and Guilloche Enamel Compact - Antique George VI (1939)

Description

This fine antique George VI sterling silver and guilloche enamel compact has a circular rounded form.

The subtly convex anterior surface is embellished with a blue guilloche enamel panel which reflects a wavy concentric ring design, emanating from the centre of the cover.

The front cover retains the original applied silver ornament depicting a Royal Artillery* cap badge including the regimental motto ‘Ubique’ - ‘Everywhere’ and ‘Quo Fas Et Gloria Ducunt’ - ‘Where Right And Glory Lead’.

The reverse of the compact, which is also subtly convex in nature, is embellished with engine turned decoration.

The compact is fitted with two plain thumbpieces.

This antique compact opens to reveal integrated mirror and powder compartments.

* The Royal Regiment of Artillery (RA) is the artillery arm of the British Army.

Andrew Campbell started trading in antiques during the 1970s. Initially, Andrew lived in the South of England, travelling the country, searching for items of silver to buy. Andrew sold these items at various London markets and antique fairs. Over time, and through selling at a range of venues, Andrew built up a large and diverse customer base from private buyers to national and international trade customers.
