Description from the seller
Crystal perfume bottle with gilded stopper and special locking mechanism – Netherlands, circa 1900
A refined and rare object from the Belle Époque:
this crystal perfume flacon, manufactured around 1900 in the Netherlands, combines elegance, craftsmanship, and technical ingenuity. The bottle is made of clear, cut crystal with a beautiful play of light, and fitted with a richly gilded cap with a special opening mechanism, where with a light twist the cap pops open – a subtle, ingenious technique that makes its use a luxurious ritual.
The bottle exudes style and refinement, as was characteristic of the period around 1900. It is not only a functional object from the past, but above all a collectible jewel full of charm and history.
