Compact Art Deco square-shaped case, made of tested and hallmarked 800 silver, with surfaces decorated with fine intertwining linear work that creates an elegant geometric and textured effect. The outline features a discreet engraved border that frames both sides of the piece.

The front clasp incorporates an oval carnelian cabochon mounted on a geometric silver piece. The combination of straight lines, balanced proportions, geometric decoration, and colored stone fully matches the Art Deco language of the 1920s and 1930s.

The interior construction is simple and functional, with two facing metal compartments and a longitudinal hinge. Due to its format, dimensions, and closure system, it corresponds to a compact case or small personal case, designed to be carried in a handbag and probably intended for cosmetics, powders, small objects, or personal accessories.

Things you should know

What you are buying (important)

We sell antique and vintage items, not new or freshly manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, small losses, or variations typical of the passage of time. These characteristics are common in pieces with history and are part of their condition.

We recommend that you review the photographs carefully, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm any details before purchasing, please write to us.

Photos and color

The photographs are taken with artificial light, so the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is a deciding factor for you, we can send you additional photographs taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the true tone.

Patina and cleaning

Many pieces have a patina as a natural consequence of the passage of time. We do not remove it, as it may have taken decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the character and appearance of the piece.

If you decide to clean or polish a piece, do so with caution and keeping the material in mind. Improper cleaning can alter its surface, patina, appearance, and in some cases, its value. If you need guidance on cleaning a specific material, contact us and we will help you.
