About the Item
This exquisite antique compact case from the late Victorian era showcases the artistry of both silversmithing and enamel work. Crafted in finely engraved silver, the exterior features a stunning polychrome enamel scene inspired by Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus, framed by a cobalt blue and gilt foliate border. When opened, the compact reveals a beveled mirror on the lid and its original powder compartment with traces of blush still present, offering a glimpse into its original use as a luxury cosmetic accessory. The interior details, combined with the ornate enamel exterior, highlight the dual function of this piece as both a practical vanity item and a work of art. Highly collectible and beautifully preserved, this compact case embodies the elegance and refinement of late 19th-century European decorative arts.
