French Enamel Napoleon Portrait Patch Box. Fine early French enameled patch or snuff box.

The lid is finely decorated with a portrait of Napoleon in military dress and rests on a round pressed glass crystal box. The inside of the lid is fitted with a mirror and was most likely used to hold beauty marks for fashionable women (and sometimes men) who wanted to emphasize their beauty. 1 5/8"diameter at the rim; 1 1/4" high.

This little box is in nice condition considering age. The brass mounting shows some tarnishing.

The hinge is intact and the lid closes well. This item is in the category "Collectibles\Decorative Collectibles\Boxes, Jars & Tins". The seller is "thousandtemptations" and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped to United States.
