Antique Miniature Scent Bottle
A beautiful scent bottle from the Victorian period. The bottle originates from France and bears the French boars head hallmark for silver on the top. The glass of the scent bottle is a beautiful rich green colour and has a hexagonal base. The top of the bottle has some lovely engraving on the top and opens on a hinge. Inside, the original stopper rests in place. The top has a chain attached on either side and this chain meets at a central bail. The scent bottle could easily be worn on a long chain and looks very pretty on. A very cute little piece that has been beautifully made.
Details:
Materials - Silver (French hallmarks), Glass
Age - Late Victorian, c1890
Size - The bottle measures approx 28mm high and would hang around 42mm from the top of the bail to the bottom of the bottle.
Condition - Very good. Some patina to the silver. A little wear to the glass in places, nothing of any great consequence. The stopper is a little damaged on the bottom point.
