Victorian Cased Silver Scent Bottle, 1891
Sold
Scent Bottle (cased) - Birmingham 1891 by Horton & Allday - Scent bottle: 12.5cm long (case: 15.5cm long); 64g gross (137g incl. case) - NT/3844
This is a beautifully presented Victorian silver scent bottle complete with original case.
The scent bottle is a long cone-shape with all over floral scroll embossing around a vacant cartouche. The hinged cover opens to reveal gilt fittings and the original glass stopper that fits neatly in to the neck of the glass insert. The Birmingham hallmarks for the makers Horton & Allday are located around the silver neck.
A particularly agreeable feature of this perfume flacon is the smartly presented, fitted case complete with the twice impressed name of the original retailers, Mappin & Webb and a pleasing hinged opening down the vertical length to give a winged appearance.
Both scent bottle and case are in fine condition with nothing negative to report.
