Pretty old lithographed metal box adorned with a large butterfly with blue and turquoise wings, set against a delicately starry background typical of early 20th-century decorative productions. Its small size and paper-lined interior suggest it was formerly a powder box, candy box, or small toiletry accessory box. The contrast between the bluish hues of the butterfly and the slightly patinated silver background gives it a very decorative presence, evoking the nascent Art Deco aesthetic and refined feminine objects of the interwar period.
