Discover this rare and exquisite multi-functional piece that combines a perfume bottle and a powder compact in one elegant design. Crafted in sterling silver and black enamel, circa 1900, the decorative black enamel with silver filigree motifs adds a sophisticated touch that reflects the fashion and refinement of the Belle Époque.

This style of decoration using black enamel and silver detailing was common on jewelry and toiletry items in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, especially during the Belle Époque (1871-1914). Importantly, the Belle Époque was characterized by organic motifs and detailed ornamentation. The piece is representative of the luxury and elegance of the Belle Époque, and may have been produced in France, England, or other European countries that created silver and enamel items for the luxury market.

Perfume bottles and powder compacts were essential items for high society women in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, designed to carry a favorite fragrance and keep the face always flawless. The perfume bottle's screw-on lid holds tight, while the interior includes a mirror and soft cushion, ideal for makeup touch-ups.

A real gem for antique lovers and collectors of antique toiletries or historical rarities.
