A pin-wheel pattern of four different beautiful flowers and leaves embossed on the back. Has a ring which allows it to be worn as a locket. Hallmark of famed 1880's Parisian jeweler Prudent QUITTE on rim of lid with two other hallmarks. Includes the original very aged (and charming) mirror. 1.7 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.
