DESCRIPTION

Polvera; Italy. Late 19th century, early 20th century.
Silver 800 gilt and bone.
The upper medallion is damaged.
The original cloth case is preserved.
Contrasts in the clasp.
Measurements: 0,5 x 9,5 cm.
French circular-shaped compact made of gilded silver. The lower area is defined by the use of a chiselled ornamentation, based on a design of plant motifs that are arranged over the entire surface. The lid area is also richly ornamented, but more expressive. The outer perimeter has been worked with an openwork design based on vegetal motifs, while the centre has a carving of simile ivory that shows an image of a gallant character.
The popularity of powder boxes dates from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a time when make-up was not yet socially accepted and when the first powder boxes were often concealed in accessories such as walking sticks, jewellery or hat pins.
