FAQs

A Georgian enamel patch box is a small 18th-century decorative container made from copper coated in vitreous enamel, traditionally used to store facial beauty patches made of silk or velvet.

These boxes were constructed by hammering a copper base into shape, applying multiple layers of powdered glass glaze fired in a kiln, and decorating the surface with hand-painted enamels or transfer prints before adding brass mounts.

Authentic pieces feature wavy or crimped copper-alloy mounts, fine surface crazing, hand-painted polychrome decoration or early transfer prints, and faint signs of wear around the hinge mechanism.

These small curiosities are ideal for styling atop a stack of art books, arranged on a brass display tray, or displayed under glass cloches on bookshelves and sideboard tops.

Dust gently using a dry microfibre cloth, keeping the item away from moisture to prevent rusting on internal metal mounts, and avoid chemical solvents or abrasive polish.
