Very chic antique sterling silver striped niello patch box with original distressed mirror. The niello pattern continues seamlessly on front and back. Has two silver hallmarks and a ring which allows it to be worn as a locket. A tactile snuff box with an elegant smooth surface that feels good in the hand and closes with a satisfying snap. The box is 1.5" diameter and comes with 1/4 oz (8 ml) solid perfume of your choice. Niello, an ancient and special method of enameling where the lines of the design are cut in silver, which is then completely covered with a black composition consisting of copper, silver, and lead. A little borax is sprinkled on, and the whole item is subjected to heat. After cooling, the top surface is scraped and burnished, leaving the black composition in the design lines.
