Art Nouveau Sterling silver antique French patch box embossed with stunning singular flower on front and beautiful floral sprays on the back and encircling the lid. Gold-wash inside box and two hallmarks around the rim of the lid. Had a ring which allows it to be worn as a locket. Original beveled mirror in aged condition with rope braid trim decoration. Feels substantial and good in the hand. It is 1.5 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.
