Art Nouveau silver plate quatrefoil antique French patch box embossed with stunning single poppy flower encircled by a leaf pattern on the front. In very tiny letters on the front is engraved the word "Versailles". The back is decorated with stylized flowers and leaves. From 1900, in perfect condition and closes with a satisfying snap. Original convex mirror in perfect condition. Feels substantial and good in the hand. This patch box has a ring which allows it to be worn as a locket. It is 1.75 inches across, and the price includes 1/4 oz (8 ml) solid perfume of your choice. 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. See example of antique patches in picture below.
