Victorian Sterling Silver and enamel powder case and pendant

Description : It is an art to powder one's nose. Even application is the objective, and the swan down powder puff was used by nobility to powder one's face with rice powder. It is extraordinary that the swan down powderpuff is intact in this compact. Simply crafted with the guilloche process, you can see the machining of the textural design beneath the surface of a golden translucent enamel. Sitting upon the original swan's down puff is the silk tab for opening the case. Originally finely crafted the overall condition is very good, and the enamel is flawless. This piece, most likely originated from France, and has travelled a long way over many years to be here in our inventory. It is a feminine, historical piece of jewelry and functional object.
