Description from the seller
Rare and elegant Art Deco set in sterling silver, consisting of a rectangular guilloché case with blue enamel borders, accompanied by two circular powder boxes, including a large vanity model.
The three pieces are stamped silver, including the lion's head, Minerva, the date letter, and the master punch, probably indicating high-quality craftsmanship from the 1920s–1930s.
The fine-lined guilloché decoration, highlighted by intense blue enamel, is typical of Art Deco refinement, combining geometric sobriety with timeless elegance.
The surfaces display a beautiful vintage patina with light micro-scratches from use. The enamel is well preserved, with no significant chips. The clasps are functional.
