- Bookmarkable URLVincennes and Sèvres toilet wares were for the cosmetics and hair preparations used during the ritual of the toilette. In the 18th century this was undertaken before courtiers, friends and tradesmen. This service (probably incomplete) comprises two powder boxes, two patch boxes, a small brush (vergette) for brushing away wig powder and a clothes brush. The service may have been intended for Madame de Pompadour, but was left incomplete on her death in 1764, subsequently being sold in 1767 to the dealer Rouveau, who in turn sold it to Queen Lovisa Ulrika of Sweden (1720 - 82).
