Description: Presented is a gorgeous vintage Austrian silver and guilloche enamel compact or small box. The exterior is beautifully adorned with rich blue enamel, translucent so the machine turned decoration of the silver can be seen. The center of the lid has an openwork design of a basket of flowers. The interior has a rich gold wash. Likely there was a mirror set in the lid originally, which could easily be replaced. This compact is in great overall condition. There is one small chip to the enamel at about the 12 o'clock position, near the hinge—this doesn't go all the way through the enamel to the silver beneath, so it's hard to spot without close inspection. Otherwise the enamel is in good shape, with only minor scratches. The lid closes nicely. No breaks and no repairs. This piece is stamped “Austria” as well as sterling silver, with the purity stamped right next to that as 935, which is actually higher. Above is an Austrian hallmark in the shape of a bird's head, with the number 1 for first standard (935 purity) silver and the letter W for the city of Vienna. The compact measures about 2 inches in diameter. This piece weighs 29 grams. -jm Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
