EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into elegance with John Pound & Co's Ladies Real Pigskin Dressing Case from 1912. This exquisite compact dressing case, featuring solid silver fittings, was a must-have accessory for women of the 1910s. John Pound & Co, a renowned name in London's retail scene, had been synonymous with quality and sophistication since its inception. John Pound, the company's founder, had become Lord Mayor of London in 1904, but with the prestigious title came less time to run his business. He entrusted the reins to his two capable sons, John Lulham and Percy Albert. Under their leadership, John Pound & Co continued to thrive, offering an array of exquisite beauty essentials. This dressing case, a testament to their commitment to excellence, was crafted from genuine pigskin leather and adorned with solid silver fittings. The case housed various compartments, perfect for storing brushes, jars, and other essentials. The mirror, a thoughtful addition, allowed women to apply their makeup or check their reflection on the go. The John Pound & Co dressing case was a symbol of luxury and practicality, reflecting the changing needs of women during the early 20th century. This advertisement, showcasing the dressing case on Leadenhall Street in London, invites you to step back in time and experience the charm of a bygone era. John Pound & Co's legacy continued well into the mid-1900s, but eventually, the company was taken over by John Lewis. Despite the change in ownership, the legacy of this iconic brand lives on, reminding us of the elegance and sophistication of a bygone era.
