Small antique silver hanging compact, circular in shape, with an interior mirror and a gilded finish on the inside. The surface is crafted with garlands, flowers, scrollwork, and raised borders, a delicate decoration very much in line with the Belle Époque and Art Nouveau taste of the early 20th century.

Due to its size and top ring, it was designed to be worn suspended from a chain, chatelaine, or personal accessory. These types of small boxes with mirrors were used to carry powder, blush, or other cosmetics to touch up away from home, when toiletry items began to also become small jewelry accessories.

An especially beautiful piece for preserving the beveled mirror, the gilded interior, and a decoration that continues around the entire body, not just on the lid.

Things you should know

What you are buying (important)

We sell antique and vintage items, not new or freshly manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, small losses, or variations typical of the passage of time. These characteristics are common in pieces with history and are part of their condition.

We recommend that you review the photographs carefully, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm any details before purchasing, please write to us.

Photos and color

The photographs are taken with artificial light, so the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is a deciding factor for you, we can send you additional photographs taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the true tone.

Patina and cleaning

Many pieces have a patina as a natural consequence of the passage of time. We do not remove it, as it may have taken decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the character and appearance of the piece.

If you decide to clean or polish a piece, do so with caution and keeping the material in mind. Improper cleaning can alter its surface, patina, appearance, and in some cases, its value. If you need guidance on cleaning a specific material, contact us and we will help you.
