Traditional Viennese styling inspired by European folk art and decorative textile traditions, with a hand stitched floral bouquet set against a slate blue ground.

Constructed from brass with a square form and integrated thumb latch closure. The lid is inset with a finely worked petit point panel depicting pink and red cabbage roses with green foliage, framed by a recessed brass bezel. Warm brass patina throughout adds contrast to the colorful embroidery.

Originally designed as a pill box, stamp box, or small vanity case for carrying personal items within a handbag or pocketbook. Today it functions as a vanity accessory, tabletop decorative object, or small storage container for rings and keepsakes. It can also be repurposed to hold a favorite lip balm, solid perfume, mints, jewelry, or other small daily essentials. See less
