Good day
I have bought this beautiful silver compact today. I can't find any marks on it but think it may be Persian.
Any information would be welcome

::::: The button where you press to make the compact open and close. Can you analyze that button with a magnifying glass and see if you see tiny hallmarks imprinted upon it? :::::: I think I see something but I could be wrong. :::: Yes it does seem Persian or Indo-Persian :::::
Re: Persian Silver compact
Thank you for your reply. I have checked the button, can't find any markings. I even checked the body as I know sometimes markings could be hidden in the patterns. I will check in sunlight today for any scratched Farsi script as my unmarked pin cushion had some.Aguest wrote:::::: The button where you press to make the compact open and close.
