This is a Beautiful Art Deco Enamel & Flower mounted Solid Silver Ladies Compact Box , crafted by the highly sought after Edwardian Silversmith Herbert Scott Murdoch, this stunning Enamel Compact Box was assayed in Birmingham in 1922 making it nearly 100 years old, The design and decoration is breath taking, the Enamel Top is stunning with its wonderful raised flowers of pinks and blues which are in superb condition to its hand painted enamel green leaves and pink flower buds, all this sits to the centre of the wonderful cream colour Enamel background which also has a delicate design, the sides of the solid silver pull off top have a smooth finish contrasting beautiful with the Enamel top, the body is again solid silver with a lovely smooth finish giving it such a pretty yet elegant and timeless look, This rare Enamel Compact still retains its mirror to the inside of the top, to the base it has a lovely crimped design to the edging , this still sits straight and proudly, this was crafted at the beginning of the Art Deco period and is stunning, its fully hallmarked, the quality of the craftsmanship is superb, this would have once belonged to a wealthy lading nearly 100 years ago and been used daily in a time when things were so very different. this does have some age related dings and the lid sits very snug, just mentioned for accuracy.
