Antique brass patch box circa 1880's decorated with champlevé enameling. Beautiful patina and feels substantial in the hand. With age some of the enamel has worn off making the box even more beautiful in a wabi-wabi way. One of a kind patch box with a mirror. 1.7 inches across, holds 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.
