Vietnamese Colonial Silver-Gilt Round Box VINH-SADEC, Late 19th Century
About the Item
An exceptional silver-gilt circular box and cover, finely decorated in high relief with continuous scenes of pavilions, trees, and figures in a Chinese export-style landscape. The upper and lower rims adorned with bands of floral motifs in repeating patterns. The interior richly gilt. Stamped on the base VINH-SADEC, indicating production in the important silversmithing town of Sa Đéc during the French colonial era.
VINH-SADEC refers to the town Vĩnh Sa Đéc in southern Vietnam (now Sa Đéc in Đồng Tháp Province). During the French colonial period in Indochina (modern-day Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos), many silver items were produced in Saigon and surrounding towns like Vinh Sadec by Vietnamese and Chinese silversmiths for European clientele. These often featured Chinese motifs (pagodas, flowers, scholars, etc.) blended with European tastes — as we see here with the landscape and floral decorations on your box.

Patch boxes, popularized during the 17th century, held significant cultural and historical relevance. These small, often round, containers were crafted to store small patches or beauty spots, which were fashionable accessories worn by both men and women during this era. Patches were made from silk or velvet and were applied to the face to cover blemishes or enhance facial features. The 17th century was marked by an increased focus on personal grooming and beauty, and patch boxes became essential accessories for those seeking to adhere to contemporary fashion standards.
