Description from the seller

“An elegant and finely crafted 950 silver filigree perfume bottle, executed in the refined Safed style and notable for its intricate openwork and above-average size.”

This refined miniature object showcases exceptional craftsmanship, with delicate silver wires meticulously shaped into an intricate openwork design.
The bottle features a graceful, well-balanced form with a decorative pedestal base and a characteristic openwork dome-shaped cap. The intricate scrollwork and harmonious structure give the piece a luxurious and timeless appearance.
