Sterling Silver Necklace lipstick box from the Pompon Collection. The most elegant case for your lipstick. This collection honors a motif that has a special place in the history of costume, decoration and, more broadly, the decorative arts: the pompon.
The case, all in sterling silver, is supported by Byzantine chains that end in graceful tassels made of Venetian chains. Worn as a necklace, its length is adjustable by a sliding element. The Christofle company has created a collection of jewelry based on this particular motif. They are created on a byzantine chain, also called royal mesh or Peruvian mesh, "Birdcage" or "Dilemma of the Fool" depending on the continent and the time. This flexible chain consists of a geometric tangle of rings strung together in a precise and complex pattern.
This object of trimmings has been found throughout the centuries adorning the most luxurious garments or the most beautiful pieces of historical furniture, sometimes shining with gold or silver threads.
Having become famous, Maison Christofle was solicited by foreign sovereigns such as Emperor Maximilian of Mexico, the Tsar of Russia, Germany of the Kaiser, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Sultan Abdulaziz of the Ottoman Empire.
