Antique 1910s Sterling Silver Emerald Green Powder Compact

An antique 1910s sterling silver emerald green powder compact is an exquisite piece of early 20th-century vanity design. The compact is crafted from sterling silver, indicating a high level of quality and value. The "1910s" era places it in the Art Deco period, known for its geometric shapes, clean lines, and vibrant colours. The emerald green detail is a key feature of the compact. It is an enamel, where a thin layer of coloured glass is fused onto the silver, creating a smooth, glossy surface. This enameling covers the entire lid and is used to create an intricate design featuring a floral pattern with an Art Deco geometric motif. The compact is designed to fit into a lady's purse. It has a hinged lid that opens to reveal a mirror and a compartment for face powder. The sterling silver has a beautiful patina from age, adding to its character and historical value. The craftsmanship is meticulous, with fine details and a secure clasp, reflecting the elegance and sophistication of the era. The compact measures 6.5 x 6.5cm and comes with the original snifer.
