Description from the seller

Crystal cut travel perfume flask – gold mount – 19th century

Elegant travel perfume flask dating from the second half of the 19th century, of oval, slightly tapered form.

Rectangular body with rounded corners in thick-cut crystal or glass, featuring on the faces a geometric pattern of diamonds and facets, complemented by fine vertical cuts on the sides.

The neck is adorned with a finely chased gold mount of scrollwork, topped by a slightly flared stopper bearing a delicate engraved decoration.

The opening mechanism still reveals its small inner glass stopper, removable, intended to ensure the bottle’s watertightness.

The piece is housed in its original travel case, bound in black leather and lined inside with green/pink velvet, perfectly matching the shape of the flask.

Beautiful toiletry and travel object, characteristic of the refined taste of the Victorian/Napoleon III era.

Condition: good overall for its age. Signs of use and wear on the case and its interior lining. The mount shows patina and gilding wear. Small inner glass stopper preserved. See photographs for detailed condition.

Photos are an integral part of the object descriptions and complement their presentation. Please examine them carefully before any commitment.

The item will be carefully packed and shipped with a tracking number to guarantee fast and secure delivery.
