Bruno Bausi Firenze - Bruno Bausi - Mirror - .800 silver - Silver powder compact

.800 silver compact, an authentic masterpiece by Florentine silversmith Bruno Bausi from the immediate postwar period. A square handbag compact, made of solid .800 silver. The exterior has a satin finish with a Buccellati-style scratched texture, centered with an elegant hand-repoussé rosette. The compact retains all its original parts in perfect condition:
- the clear inner mirror, with no foxing or cracks,
- the original fabric powder guard,
- the original applicator puff, never used.

It bears the specific silver hallmark and the lozenge-shaped hallmark with the historic “8 FI” stamp, identifying the master silversmith’s firm as the eighth registered in the Florence silversmiths’ register—Florence being one of the cradles of Italian goldsmithing.

A rare collectible in this complete condition, ideal for enhancing a collection of vintage vanity cases or as a gift of exceptional prestige. The photographs form part of the description. Carefully packaged, tracked and insured shipping.
