Graceful embossed vines and leaves decorate both sides of this elegant square 19th century French sterling silver patch box. Flanking the vines on both the front and the back of the box are vertical textural stripes. Gold vermeil inside and closes with a satisfying snap. Silver hallmarks on both sides of lid. Case 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.
