Delicate floral sprays decorate the back of the box. Hallmark of famed 1880's Parisian jeweler Prudent QUITTE on the rim of the lid along with two other hallmarks.

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.
