Antique Papier Mache 19th Century Powder Pot - Hand-Painted Box With Decorative Cottage Roses
This is a superb example of an early Victorian, English powder pot, complete with cottage garden roses to its lid and body.
It would have originally sat, pride of place, on a ladies dressing table, though today we think it would make the prettiest of trinket/jewellery pots or as a beautiful and most honest, styling accent to display in its own right!
Key Points:
• Victorian Papier Mache Lidded Powder Pot
• Hand painted and embellished with gently timeworn cottage garden roses
• Carefully crafted with a stunning soft black hue
• In 'perfectly imperfect' antique condition
History:
The Victorian floral symbolism, only makes this piece even more special! Red, Pink and Yellow roses are for love, happiness and friendship!
Year of manufacture:
c. 1860s-1890s
Approximate Measurements:
8cm H / 7.5cm Diameter (across lid)
Condition Report:
Good overall antique condition for its age. Its lid fits snugly and the base and sides are very solid and resolute! There are, as to be expected, some general age related surface marks, wear and rub to both the rose detailing and paintwork both on the lid and body - but we feel this only adds to the pieces special sense of history and charm.
It has the odd little 'dented crumple' to its inside lip (please refer to image 10 for clarity) but this doesn't stop the lid shutting correctly or detract from the display value or looks of the item.

Buyers Guide:
It is very important to note, that all the pieces Roof + Roof sell are genuine pieces of age, each having a rich and varied past and are never sold as in new condition. With this in mind, minor blemishes, surface scratches, manufacturing flaws and a general sense of their age and history are naturally to be expected. We always try, to the best of our ability to honestly and clearly communicate an items condition, both in our description and photography, highlighting anything over and above what we perceive as ‘general age related wear and tear’.
We kindly ask you look closely at all our photos, using Etsy's zoom facility, as these naturally form part of the item's description. Please be aware that your monitor, tablet, or mobile device may emulate colours/tones differently 'on screen' to that of the actual physical item, all of which are photographed and shown to the best of our abilities within the Etsy format. Any item/prop shown in our photography is used for styling purposes only. Prior to purchasing, if you would like further clarification on any item, then we are always happy to help in any way possible.
