This highly collectible vintage porcelain pillbox (or trinket box) is a fascinating piece of French Masonic memorabilia. The lid is meticulously hand-painted with iconic Freemasonry symbols, including the Square and Compasses and a trowel, framed by delicate green branches and a purple ribbon.
The craftsmanship extends to the intricate metal rim, which features a highly symbolic handshake clasp representing brotherhood. Opening the box reveals even more hidden secrets: the word "Fidélité" (Fidelity) is elegantly inscribed inside the lid, while three symbolic blue dots—a classic hallmark of French Freemasonry—decorate the bottom.

from 7 reviewsEin wunderschönes Objekt . Der Kontakt war freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Paket war bei der französischen Post etwas nachlässig befördert worden . Die Händler haben sich sehr darum gekümmert und alles ist dann gut und heil angekommen. Der Verkäufer ist sehr zu empfehlen.
I'm absolutely thrilled with my purchase! The antique hand mirror is even more beautiful and detailed than I expected. It was dispatched and arrived very quickly, and the packaging was extremely careful and secure. I'm so happy I could find such a unique and exquisite piece without having to travel a long distance. Thank you so much!
