    18th Century Sterling Silver Patch Box With Painting On Ivory
    From the internet:
    Patch box, small, usually rectangular, sometimes oval box used mostly as a receptacle for beauty patches, especially in the 18th century. During the days of Louis XV, black patches of gummed taffeta were popular with fashionable women (and sometimes men) who wanted to emphasize the beauty or whiteness of their skin.

    Hard to photograph. It is a little larger than a nickel.

    5. Alfie21 Alfie21, 3 years ago
      Vintagelamp, True. But, what else could that shape be?
    6. vintagelamp vintagelamp, 3 years ago

      tough slight chance some type bustle back garments in a wheat bushel pastoral scene
    10. apostata apostata, 2 years ago
      this is a blunder of mine because bustle backs are not 18 century , the rest probably make some logic
