This exceptional quality powder compact was imported by H C Freedman Ltd of Birmingham in 1914. The box is impressed on the inside with the makers mark, the date letter for 1914, 925 for sterling silver and the British import mark. The sterling silver box is decorated on the sides and the reverse with an engine turned pattern. The lid of the compact features an extraordinary enamel genre painting of outstanding quality.
