Superb and extraordinary! One-of-a kind beautifully embossed signed Huguenin sterling antique Art Nouveau Swiss patch box circa 1900. Decorated with repoussé narcissus flowers, leaves and stalks. A rich almost fingerprint texture decorates the entire surface of the top and bottom of the box. Three hallmarks along the inner lid including a mark 900. Comes with the original mirror in terrific shape and gold vermeil inside. 1.8 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.
