Description: | The image decorating the lid of this round patch box is a simple, but charming, painting of two birds and a nest. The image was hand painted using enamel colours by a Bilston artist around 1780. The box also has a glass mirror in the lid, which its original owner would have used when applying the facial patches kept inside.
