Description

Surfaced from the deepest reaches of the silver archive, this antique sterling silver powder compact is a breathtaking piece of Swiss vanity craftsmanship that carries the weight of a century of quiet elegance.

The entire surface is worked in solid sterling silver, its lid adorned with delicate floral engraving that speaks to the hand of a skilled silversmith. The maker's mark MX is present, a tantalising clue to its provenance that invites further research. No date mark is present, though the quality and style of construction suggest a piece of considerable age. Inside, the original sifter remains intact. A compact that has survived the decades in excellent condition, with only a couple of small foxing spots to the back of the mirror as evidence of its long life.

A tactile, collectible artifact for the serious appreciator of antique silver and old-world vanity craftsmanship. Part of the Vanity Table Treasures collection.
