AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Victoriano Duplo 19th Century Perfume Bottle
Object
Type: Double perfume bottle (also known as travel flask or travel bottle), characterized by having two independent compartments.
Era: 19th century (mid to the second half), corresponding to the period of Queen Victoria of England.
Features
The central body is made of crystal or solid glass in the beautiful cobalt blue color. This deep and vibrant hue was very popular at the time.
Faceting: The glass is cut in an octagonal shape (eight sides), which increases the brilliance of the crystal and enhances the intensity of the blue. The elongated shape was ideal for being transported in travel cases.
Assemblies: The two ends of the bottle are adorned with metal mounts and caps.
Metallic finish: The metal has a gold finish or is possibly gold-plated silver (vermeil), which was a common luxury material in the 19th century.
Decoration: The lids and gilded mounts are richly carved with ornate patterns, featuring scrolls, arabesques, and stylized floral motifs. This handcrafted and detailed work reflects the opulent taste of the Napoleon III period.
Feature: The design of two compartments allowed for storing two different substances, such as two distinct perfumes, or perfume on one side and aromatic salts (scented salts) on the other, which were used to revive the senses.
Length: 11cm
It is a fine and sophisticated toiletry piece that combines the dramatic depth of cobalt blue with the richness of gilded and engraved mountings.
Shipping and customs costs borne by the buyer, with registered mail.
