Antique Art Nouveau Quadrilobe Pillbox Powderbox Pendant c. 1900

Each time I encounter a powder box pendant, I'm irresistibly drawn in. These charming, one-of-a-kind boxes blend style and convenience, serving as both a statement accessory and a safe repository for your most cherished items. This specific powder box pendant boasts a quadrilobe shape, intricate repoussé detailing, and a conveniently compact size. It's petite enough to be elegantly worn as a pendant, yet roomy enough to securely safeguard your precious possessions. The top securely latches shut, ensuring that your treasures remain protected until you decide otherwise. Inside, you'll find the original mirror in excellent condition, as well as the glow of a lovely gold wash. In remarkable antique condition and awaiting a new owner, this pendant makes for an enchanting gift, especially for those with an appreciation for history.

CONDITION NOTES:
The pendant is in excellent antique condition and closes well. The pendant has two boar's head hallmarks on the interior rim for a minimum 800 silver finesse, standard for France during the Art Nouveau period. It would have originally contained a glass mirror upon opening the top, but this has been lost to time. The bail is a silver plate replacement which is still in good condition and in strong working order.
