Moser Gilded Powder Box, Silver Plate Lid with Portrait & Original Puff

Description

Welcome to
Antiques & Moore!
This listing is for a beautiful Moser powder box with porcelain portrait insert in center of silver plate embossed top and has it's original powder puff included, c. 1897. The box has a green shading to clear glass body decorated with elaborate gilt design and with a fancy chased silver plate lid mounted with a hand painted porcelain portrait insert on center top. Silver top is engraved "Jessemaye, 1897".
Measures 4 1/4" (to edge of top) with an overall width of 3 3/4" and top opening of 2 7/8". Weighs 10 ounces.
This nice box is in excellent Estate condition with no noted flaws to the gilt decoration or to the glass and reflecting only minor wear to the gilt collar around the top of glass base and to the silver plate lid. There is expected wear to the ivory colored silk fabric on the top of the ostrich feather puff although the puff itself is clean and the celluloid button handle is excellent. The silver plate top has its original patina with no noted flaws. Silver should polish nicely, however, we are selling it "as found" and have elected not to polish the silver. The portrait is finely painted and is without flaws.
