A well-made vintage sterling silver compact by Argenta, a Mexican silversmith known for cosmetic cases and cigarette cases from the mid-20th century. The compact features circular detailing on the front lid and a snug-fitting hinged lid with working clasp.

Hallmarked “Sterling Mexico” along with the Argenta maker’s mark on the interior rim. Substantial weight at 73.84 grams, giving it real heft and quality feel in hand.

Please note: the mirror shows some deterioration/flaking consistent with age (visible in photos) and would benefit from replacement or could be used as-is for a vanity or dresser piece.
