Rowland Holbrook Smith (1879-1920) was born on 14 December 1879 in New York City, USA.
Rowland's father, Alfred Holbrook Smith was president and founder of the Alfred H. Smith Company, which originally focused on importing brushes.
Later on the business was expanded to include the importation of toiletries, vanity boxes and perfumes.
The Spanish word maravilla means wonderful!
The lid decoration of this vintage compact is indeed rather wonderful.
This compact measures 4 inches diameter and weighs 167.9 grams. We have never seen another one just like this! Although we have very little information which relates directly to the maker of this splendid vanity, we do know that this accessory was crafted in Spain as part of the luxury goods trade & it is steeped in the history of Spanish damascene ware.
