Majestic, signed Erstwilder, ‘Gift of the Nile Papyrus’ acrylic mirror compact!

This laser-cut mirror compact features a three-dimensional papyrus design. Beautifully hand-painted, it showcases layers of super light resin and illustrates a fitting representation of the papyrus treasure - paper, cloth, sails, medicine and so much more from just one plant. A gift indeed! And not just for ancient Egypt, also proving an inspiration for many a fashion designer.

Precursor to paper, most versatile of materials, this Gift of the Nile Papyrus mirror compact is part of the Egyptian Revival collection. Inspired by all things Ancient Egypt, as filtered through the lens of Art Deco design, this classical compact is brought to life with a sublime selection of textured resins with hand-painted detail and features a gorgeous gold mirror resin specifically chosen for this release as well as a beautiful Czech glass gemstone at its heart. With a swivel hinge that reveals a mirror on the inside, it makes a suitable companion piece for the Gift of the Nile Papyrus brooch, drop earrings and necklace, and pairs perfectly with the Garden of Blessings brooch.

Designed and hand-made in a little studio in Melbourne, Australia. Erstwilder’s designs are decidedly fun, often outrageous, somewhat quirky and always delightfully companionable. Made up of a team of local designers, each piece in a collection has its own narrative including a unique name and a short story which serves as an homage to history, myth, pop-culture and classic storytelling. Each little character is only made in a limited number and their designs are highly collectible.

Designs come packaged in Erstwilder gift boxes.

Signed, Erstwilder, Australia

Dimensions: 9 x 10.6cm

Condition: New, excellent, no loss or wear aways. Please note due to the hand-mixed nature of the resins in their designs, it is also common and normal to find tiny flecks or bubbles in the resin layers. All in all, this just makes each piece as special and unique as you are.
