Vintage 1950s trapezoid Minaudiere carryall vanity purse

This is a glamorous mid-century trapezoid shaped minaudiere carryall, designed as an all-in-one vanity purse for cocktail parties, galas and dances. The frame is made of shiny brass and is covered on the outside with black sequins and beads which sparkle. The inside is lined with white moire' satin fabric. On one side is a large mirror, behind which is a a hidden pocket. The other side has three storage compartments - one for lipstick, one for powder and one for either rouge or cigarettes. There is a silk wristlet strap that is embellished with sequins (some are missing). It closes with a Art Deco hinge and brass button. The condition is good overall - the mirror shows authentic foxing (spotting and cloudiness), giving it an antique look, while still being usable. I could not find a maker's signature or mark.
