    Description

    This is a Curated Collection of b
    eautiful Antique (or Vintage) Guilloche Compacts from the early 20th Century mounted in a Wall-Hung Walnut (I think) Wood Case.  I started the collection about 50 years ago and they've been in the case for about 20 years.
    Five of them have Engine Turning - one of which is Enamel Paint with an white metal Iris on the front (it's the only one with a push button release), the other four are Glass Enamel Guilloche and the last one has an Enamel back with a Pettit Point front.
    There is a large Green Guilloche mesh-back, a large Blue Guilloche mesh-back, a small Green front and back Guilloche, a small Silver one with Blue Guilloche that has a unique 'basket' handle, a tiny Pettit Point with Black enamel back and the very Art Deco Iris one.
    The case is 12" high by 8" wide by 1 3/4" thick and the collection and case weigh 2 pounds 7.3 ounces.
    Let me know if you'd like any more pictures or measurements.
