Stunning and One-of-a kind: Art Nouveau (circa 1900) sterling silver quatrefoil French patch box embossed with finely-done marigold flowers and leaves. The four sides of the quatrefoil are embossed with a graceful flower and branch pattern on the front and a different one on the back. Inside it has one hallmark on the rim, a mirror in good condition and closes with a satisfying snap! This patch box has a ring which allows it to be worn as a locket. It is 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.
