Description from the seller
Bohemian Crystal Ruby and Gold – XIX Century Perfume Bottle
Elegant and refined perfume bottle in Bohemian crystal from the 19th century, crafted in precious ruby glass with rich gold decoration incised in a vegetal and floral motif. A object of great charm, expression of the Bohemian glassmaking tradition of the nineteenth century, renowned throughout Europe for the quality of the crystal and the brilliance of the workmanship.
The slender, harmonious silhouette is enhanced by intense translucent ruby tones alternating with frosted and satin areas, with hand-made gold details that give depth and luminosity to the whole. The original stopper, perfectly proportioned, completes the refined aesthetics of the piece.
Particularly evocative is the fact that inside there is still a faint trace of the old perfume, a rare and poetic detail that returns the atmosphere and memory of the object.
Originating from Bohemia (Austro-Hungarian Empire), central European region manufacture specialized in ruby crystals decorated in gold in the second half of the 19th century.
The bottle measures about 19 cm in height and 6.5 cm in diameter.
Excellent conditions for the era, perfectly preserved, with no evident cracks or chips. Very slight signs of aging consistent with the period and minimal gilding wear, which do not compromise the beauty and elegance of the whole.
A decorative object with great impact, ideal for collectors of antique crystals, historical perfumery, or refined Napoleonic and Belle Époque-style furnishings.
