Charming old compact in silver-plated metal, adorned with delicate vegetal relief decoration, composed of volutes and stylized leaves characteristic of the Art Nouveau style. Its square shape with softened corners and repoussé work give it a soft elegance, typical of Belle Époque feminine vanity items.
The interior reveals an original beveled mirror, slightly tarnished by time, an authentic testament to its age and use.
