Description from the seller
Old lipstick case / lip-case in 800 silver with mirror and red cabochon – handcrafted work
Elegant and refined antique lipstick case made of 800 sterling silver, completely handcrafted with rich vegetal ornamentation inspired by classical design and delicate stylized scroll motifs.
The piece features extraordinary craftsmanship visible on all sides, with an elegant engraved relief of ornamental inspiration. The highlight is especially its top application with a decorative red cabochon, probably made of crystal or glass paste, providing an attractive color contrast and a sophisticated character to the piece.
