Fabulous Italian 800 Silver & Carved Bone Compact ~ Botticelli\'s Birth Of Venus a.imagelink {color:#efdcd6;} a:hover.imagelink {color:#efdcd6;} a:visited.imagelink {color:#ffffff;} a.imagelink img.saleimage { border: 2px solid #efdcd6; } a:visited.imagelink img.saleimage { border: 2px solid #ffffff; } Description
Up for offer is an Italian 800 silver compact with a carved bone (faux ivory?) front depicting a rendition of Botticelli\'s famous \"Birth of Venus\" painting. The compact measures about 3 inches by 2 and 1/4 inches and is beautifully hand-engraved on all sides. The compact opens to a gold-washed interior with a framed beveled mirror on the top and a covered powder well on the bottom. The powder well cover is also nicely engraved. It is unusual to see a covered powder well in an Italian 800 compact, as almost all have just open wells. The original sifter is still present and appears unused.
The compact is marked 800 on the mirror frame and also appears to have a maker\'s mark that is too small for me to decipher.
Overall condition is very good, with the only items to note being some spotting and discoloration to the mirror and a small dent on the right side of the metal that frames the carved front.
Domestic shipping will be $4.00. First-class international shipping is available at cost. Thanks for looking and check out the other compacts I have listed!
