Vintage Gold Ormolu Filigree Powder Box Glass Insert, Lidded, Footed

Description

Beautiful vintage powder box measuring 4 1/4 inches in diameter and over 2 1/2 inches high. A glass insert rests in a filgree golden ormolu footed base. The beveled glass and ormolu lid lifts with an intricately formed flower knob. There is a small dent in the lower part of the base rim. The glass insert did not easily lift out--it is tightly fitted. I did not force it but assume it can be removed. 2 photos show discoloration of the filigree base on the inside, facing inward towards the glass insert. Very pretty, quite heavy at 1 lb. without packing box and materials.
