Description
1 1/2"-2 1/2" (2-3 cm) boxes. Contained with original paper boxes with engravings or glass tops are a number of face patches, cut of paper in various shapes such as circle, heart, or star, and designed to be applied to the face as an ornament; the wearing of "patches" was quite popular during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, but finding existing examples, such as these in original boxes, is virtually impossible. Excellent condition, some wear to boxes.
