Description from the seller
Travel crystal cut perfume bottle – gold mount – 19th century
Elegant travel perfume bottle dating from the second half of the 19th century, oval slightly tapered.
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 cuttings on the sides.
The neck is adorned with a thinly chased gold mount of scrolls, surmounted by a slightly flared-shaped stopper bearing a delicate engraved decoration.
The opening mechanism reveals still its small inner glass stopper, removable, designed to ensure the bottle's seal.
The whole is kept in its original travel case, leather-bound black and lined inside with green/pink velvet, exactly following the shape of the bottle.
Beautiful grooming and travel item characteristic of the refined taste of the Victorian/Napoleon III era.
Condition: good overall given age. Signs of use and wear to the case and its interior lining. The mount shows patina and wear to the gilding. Small inner glass stopper preserved. See photographs for detailed condition.
Photos are an integral part of the object description and complement its presentation. Please examine them carefully before any engagement
The item will be carefully packed and shipped with a tracking number, to ensure fast and secure delivery.
