Sterling German Compact Guilloche enamel Lipstick Case Portrait Scene Antique

Description

Antique German Sterling Silver Guilloche Enamel Portrait Scene Vanity Compact, Lipstick, Case
Here is a beautiful intense tangerine orange enamel guilloche sterling silver compact with a full scene on the lid of a romantic couple, and a sheep.
The scene on the lid is also painted over a guilloche background giving it a luminous appearance with greater depth than normal.
There is a mirror in the lid and a rotating powder sifter in the base.
Condition is very, very good with no scuffs and only one or two tiny marks visible with a loupe.
It is rare to find a scene that covers the entire lid as this one does. Marked "Sterling" and "Germany" on inside rim.
Measures 2" 1/4 diameter.
T
he detail in the painting is amazing ... and quite beautiful.
Back is a beautiful guilloche design in tangerine orange
The compact and Lipstick Holder comes with what appears to be a custom {leather?}
Case in a pale green cover, and is embossed with the word Germany{hard to see, so I tried to darken it in photo to be able to see it}
This stunning compact is truly
beautiful, and such a wonderful piece of history to own
It is truly special, someone will be fortunate to add to their collection.

I have had people order from me, and then request a refund from me, which I willingly do.
But they do not send my products back, they send
like
items that are broken or destroyed in some manner,
Leaving me to have to either fight like heck with eBay or take a loss.
And then I see my items for sale in their stores. Unfortunately this does happen and has happened to me.
I am a very fair seller and expect such back, however it is not always the way it is.
With that said, unless I am showed pictures of my items when they are immediately opened That are said to be chipped, broken, etc
The refund will be based on you shipping the item back and I comparing with all original photos.
I will immediately refund any items that are my fault, I can make mistakes and occasionally do!
Only except fair offers please!!!!
