Extraordinary and superb! One-of-a kind beautifully embossed signed Huguenin sterling repoussé antique Swiss patch box from the 1800's. Decorated on the front with a beautiful high-relief garland of roses on a ribbon with a bow. Around the edges of both the front and back are lotus flowers, cattails and lily pads. Seven (!) hallmarks along the inner rim of the lid including a 900 mark and inside a perfect mirror. Included is an antique handmade sterling chain. 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.
