One of a kind! Antique French patch box embossed Maid of Orleans Lillies with medallion inset of Joan of Arc. The back displays a gorgeous central lily with lovely foliage -- which also encircles the top of the case. Aging on the silver-plate to create a beautiful surface texture of aged bicolor silver and brass. Original mirror, in perfect condition. It is 1.7 inches across, and the price includes 1/4 oz (8 ml) solid perfume of your choice. Has ring which allows it to be worn as a locket. Patch boxes came into use during the 18th century at the court of Louis XV, where the use of "beauty patches" was popular. A beauty patch was made of gummed silk and was pasted on the skin as a "beauty mark" to emphasize a woman's facial feature, usually the cheek.
