Additional information

Small 18 carat gold hinged powder case with two compartments and a frosted mirror. The lid features a small painting centred on an oval from which radiates a cluster of oblique lines. The whole is edged with a frieze of acanthus leaves alternating on each corner with a larger leaf. The base is decorated in the same way, but without the central medallion, with a radiance of oblique lines radiating out from one corner of the frame. The sides are striped with sinusoidal bands. On one side a small plant motif in a circle recalls the central medallion. 
Greek doctor's head in hexagon and number 3, Paris from 1838.
Chips on the edge of the mirror and scratches on the base.
