Description from the seller
This elegant vintage accessory is a transparent glass bottle with a central motif depicting a woman's face in Liberty style, a nasalizer for perfume Pierre Bex in Art Nouveau style.
The French brand Pierre Bex is renowned among collectors for its high-end costume jewelry and toilet accessories, characterized by a faithful reproduction of Art Déco and Art Nouveau styles. Founded in France in 1969 by Pierre Beroux, the company began as a craftsman business in Nancy before expanding to Bry-sur-Marne. At its peak, the factory employed about 60 people and was considered the fourth largest producer of costume jewelry in France. Production ended definitively towards the late 1980s.
Pierre Bex’s signature lies in the use of original molds and clichés from the late 19th century and early 20th century. The jewelry and objects (such as perfume bottles) were handmade in copper or copper alloy, then plated in silver or gold with an antique finish, decorated with crystal rhinestones and finished with a distinctive colored enamel coating protected by a transparent layer.
Many original Pierre Bex pieces are unmarked on the metal, as at the time they were sold with paper labels or pinned to branded cards. Collectors recognize their authenticity by the unmistakable design, the use of “trombone” clasps for pins, and the characteristic enamel Work.
The bottle remains in excellent period condition, with normal signs of age and use. The crystal is bright and well preserved, while the black pump atomizer with tassel shows defects and there are glue marks present.
A beautiful addition to any collection of antique perfume bottles, Art Deco objects, or French decorative arts.
Silver not tested
Dimensions: 12 × 8.5 × 2.5 cm

Seller's Story
FilomenaVintage was born on November 6, 2012, thanks to an idea by Alessandra Testa, with the desire to give a new home to the beauties and wonders of a time that have never set, in the world of costume jewelry, fashion and beyond. The word vintage means "loved in the past" and so the rediscovery of pieces with a history, a past not too distant can return and be loved again, giving new value to the concept, that of a present to be lived again.
