A superb example of Victorian craftsmanship, this English powder pot offers a glimpse into the refined world of a 19th-century dressing table. Crafted from papier-mâché with a soft black lacquered finish, it features hand-painted cottage garden roses. In the Victorian "Language of Flowers," these blooms carried deep sentiment—red for love, pink for happiness, and yellow for friendship—elevating this piece to a meaningful token.
Highly prized in the late 19th century for its delicate form, authentic papier-mâché of this era is increasingly rare
