Crafted with exquisite Rococo detail, it features delicate repoussé floral work—tiny roses and curling foliage—on both the lid and base, each side adorned with its own unique motif.

The hinged lid opens to reveal a charming mirror inside, small yet strikingly reflective to show the entire face. It's ingeniously designed as a ring or pill box, the addition of a petite soldered jump ring at the top transforms it into a pendant or hanging objet d’art. It snaps shut with a satisfying click and is the perfect size to slip into a purse, tuck inside a drawer, or wear on a long chain as a piece of epic antique jewelry.

In excellent condition with light wear consistent with age, just the sort of soulful patina you’d expect from a turn-of-the-century French treasure. No dents, and the interior remains remarkably clean.

From France, circa 1900.
