Antique Louis Kuppenheim Sterling Silver Guilloche Enamel Compact Case
This exquisite antique Louis Kuppenheim compact case is a masterpiece of early 20th-century German craftsmanship, featuring vibrant lime green guilloché enamel over a sterling silver body. The lid showcases an intricate engine-turned wavy pattern, centered by an elegant oval medallion depicting a bird perched among delicate floral branches. The reverse side continues the ornate aesthetic with a mesmerizing concentric sunburst engraving, while the perimeter is finished with a finely detailed floral border. Inside, the compact reveals a gold-washed (vermeil) interior and its original sifter. Sleek, historical, and remarkably luxurious, it remains a stunning example of Art Deco-era vanity art.
