This is a spectacular Italian silver vermeil compact with a wonderful hand-painted scene featuring young lovers in period dress. The gentleman is climbing up a rope ladder to his young lady, possible with intentions of eloping. The colors are vivid and bright with fantastic detail for the scene. The gorgeous scene is framed in brilliant cobalt blue enameling. The front, sides and back of the case are elegantly engraved with detailed scroll work. The inside interior has its original framed beveled mirror, the powder compartment is marked "800" with a hallmark(?) and also has its original powder screen. It measures about 2 3/4 in diameter and about 1⁄2 inches thick. This compact features a very unusual and very detailed hand-painted scene. Over all vintage condition is great, colors are bright, enameling shows some small surface scratches and scuffs when held to certain light, but certainly not a distraction from its beauty. All sales are final unless I have overlooked an obvious flaw. SEE: Beautiful Italian Silver Vermeil Hand Painted Cigarette Lighter (Zippo) Listing number: 230251356365
