About the Item

This exquisite late Victorian compact case showcases the refined artistry of 19th-century European silversmithing and enamelwork. Crafted in finely engraved silver, the case features a beautifully hand-painted enamel portrait of a lady in period dress, set against a deep black background. Her serene expression and finely detailed features evoke the elegance and romanticism of the era. The portrait is framed by richly engraved silver borders, further accented with vibrant cobalt blue and green enamel inlays that enhance its decorative appeal. Both functional and decorative, the compact would have originally been used to hold face powder, complete with a mirror inside, serving as a luxurious personal accessory of its time. A rare and collectible piece, this compact case reflects the blend of utility and artistry that defined late 19th-century luxury objects, making it a true treasure for antique enthusiasts and collectors of enamel miniatures.
