$591 USD SaleSALE Antique French 18K Gold Perfume Flask, Domed Case
Antiques:Antique Perfume & Cologne Bottles
We're always thrilled to find this particular French flacon or perfume flask style, and never more so that when we find them in their original fitted and domed leather presentation case as you see here. In as near pristine condition as they come, the only flaw to note is that one need have a replacement stopper cut for it since it's gone missing over the century and a half this one has been around. We've tested the gold, confirming it at 18k and it's absolutely a French item, but for the life of ...
$506 USD SaleSALE Antique French Burled Perfume Casket, 2 Gilt Decanters
Antiques:Antique Perfume & Cologne Bottles
Absolutely gorgeous & rare 19th century French Napoleon III era burled double perfume casket or scent caddy, elegant kingwood marquetry style inlay with brass or bronze edging, original fitted interior and two gilt enameled Baccarat? perfume bottles! What a beautiful box! Richly burled veneers over the entire piece, not a flaw to be found there and the lid is decorated with kingwood and ebony marquetry style bordering! The interior is as well kept as the outside, with the original maroon silk or ...
$336 USD SaleSALE Antique English Sterling Perfume Flask Pair, Orig. Etui

A wonderful pair of English sterling silver pique worked caps adorn the pair of elegantly facet-cut perfume vials, flasks, flacon or bottles offered here. A travel set with the original fitted leather case or etui, this pair remain in excellent condition for all their years of use or storage, and present as a fabulous purse set here today. Very good to excellent condition, no chips or cracks, no bends or breaks in the silver and no chips in the glass. Even the leather outer etui or case is in ...
$421 USD SaleSALE Antique Cut Crystal Perfume Flask, 12k Gold Cap, Collar
Antiques:Antique Perfume & Cologne Bottles
A stunning old laydown perfume or scent bottle (flacon or flask) in exquisitely cut/polished crystal well worthy of its solid 12k gold cap and collar, this one is more a jewelry piece than a perfume bottle and will thrill even the most sophisticated collector. Perfect as it is, there is a flaw to note (and we've noted it in our price), that being, the stopper has broken off inside the neck, and will need to be removed and replaced with a working stopper. Our glassman can do this and has for many ...
$506 USD SaleSALE Antique French Napoleon III Double Scent Caddy, Baccarat
Antiques:Antique Perfume & Cologne Bottles
Fabulous & rare 19th century French Charles X - Napoleon III era ebonized scent or perfume casket, a gorgeous brass inlaid caddy with TWO gilt enameled Baccarat decanters and opulent interior! A beautiful box on the outside, elegant brass stringing with boulle style inlay on the front and unique inlaid brass 'Odeurs' inscription on the lid! Odeurs, just what you find inside this lovely old casket, two original thick wheel cut Baccarat glass scent or perfume decanters, each with an ornate gold or ...
$421 USD SaleSALE Antique French Scent Bottle, Shagreen Etui c. 1770 -1830
Antiques:Antique Perfume & Cologne Bottles
The little perfume or salts flask is in fine condition, still with a bit of gold in the incised design as cartouche, and missing only the little stopper that would have originally been in the narrow neck. The fact that the original flacon remains and that the magnificent original Louis XVI to Napoleonic shagreen etui is in this fine a condition is the remarkable issue, however. The etui is as fine as any we've seen in museums, and so rare to find in markets in as fine a shape. A must for any ...
$1,696 USD SaleSALE Antique Regency Perfume Casket, SIX Gilt Baccarat Bottles
Antiques:Antique Perfume & Cologne Bottles
Elegant & rare early to mid 1800s Regency style mahogany perfume casket or scent caddy with gilt ormolu ring handles, spiral marquetry edging and SIX original Baccarat or St. Louis gold enamel & cut crystal scent decanters! I'm pretty sure this is only the second, if that, perfume casket that was either large enough to accommodate six bottles OR had all six original pieces inside! The exterior is rather simple, in the Regency style popular in the early 1800s, but the spiral style marquetry ...
$761 USD SaleSALE Antique French Boulle Marquetry Scent Box, Casket with 3 Fine Baccarat Bottles, Flasks
Antiques:Antique Perfume & Cologne Bottles
This is a typical French scent caddy from the Napoleon III era in France, (roughly 1850-70) and it has a boulle cartouche and opulent exotic wood veneer trimmed out in brass stringing - an elegant casket to hold 3 exquisite gold-enameled Baccarat perfume flasks (flacon). Each remains with the box, the interior of which is in superb condition. The original stoppers remain, as well, and are without damage. The 3 matching original bottles, along with their flasks, retain all of the gold enamel ...
$336 USD SaleSALE Antique Paris Eglomise Souvenir Perfume Bottles, Tray - Notre Dame Cathedral and Place Concord
Antiques:Antique Perfume & Cologne Bottles
Two of the most recognized icons of Paris landmarks, Notre Dame Cathedral and Place Concord depicted here in back-painted glass (eglomise) cap insets of 2 dainty little souvenir perfume flasks, bottles, each in superb condition and with the original stoppers and fitted cut glass tray - just as if they've never been out of a treasure chest of souvenirs from someone's Grand Tour, and perhaps that's exactly the case, since it really is amazing to find this set thus. Very good to excellent condition ...
$251 USD SaleSALE Antique Sterling Silver Perfume, Smelling Salts Decanter, Bottle in Domed Original Leather Etui, Box
Antiques:Antique Perfume & Cologne Bottles
Fine antique English Victorian era sterling silver perfume or smelling salts decanter, original gilt embossed leather presentation box! A very interesting old piece, the hallmarks are from the Birmingham assay office and date to 1896. A small lipstick sized perfume bottle with an oversized opening so it could very well have been meant as a vinaigrette of sorts holding smelling salts to ward off the horrible sanitary conditions of the period. Nestled in the original shaped leather presentation ...
$1,271 USD SaleSALE Antique French TAHAN Scent Caddy, HP Miniature, Perfumes - Complete with original bottles inside. Tahan, Paris
Antiques:Antique Perfume & Cologne Bottles
A stunning little Charles X to early Napoleon III era perfumes casket by famed maker, TAHAN, and with hand painted miniature painting under glass as the cartouche - splendid! Well finished in that deep black ebony finish and pencil-edging of fine polished brass, the serpentine casket you see here is truly a museum piece. There is no finer name in French ebeniste history and reknown than 'TAHAN', and this is a box made by that lauded firm. You'll want to Google the TAHAN legacy to acquaint ...
$591 USD SaleSALE Elegant Antique French Scent Casket, 3 Perfume Bottles - c. 1860 - 1890 Leather clad, gold embossed
Antiques:Antique Perfume & Cologne Bottles
With rich gold embossed leather covering, ormolu trim, this stunning perfume chest will elevate any dressing table top or collection's interest. The deep beveled glass panel in the lid draws light into the casket and turns the facet-cut stoppers into virtual diamonds of brilliance, drawing the eye. A nice larger set, beautiful condition - a perfect gift idea. Very good condition throughout, with its only flaw being slight roughness on the base of a stopper, not even seen unless you go looking ...
$421 USD SaleSALE FABU Antique French Scent Casket, 4 Perfume Decanters, Ormolu
Antiques:Antique Perfume & Cologne Bottles
An interesting surface on this unique mechanical scent casket, and one we've seen on only one other item which was a fabulous sewing etui made in the same fashion. It's a lacquer like finish, embossed and gilded, and while it rather has a look of leather, it is not leather. Might qualify as an early papier mache or lacquer ware item, and the French were definitely experimenting with that in shade of red to burnt sienna during the time. Speaking of time, this is an early Napoleon III set, we're ...
$336 USD SaleSALE Fine Antique Double Scent Caddy, Sterling Silver Topped Perfume Bottles

Fabulous 19th century French Napoleon III or Victorian era leather scent caddy or casket with tooled decoration and two original sterling silver topped wheel cut crystal perfume bottles! Wow! The second of two wonderful old black leather scent boxes that we're listing this week so be sure to take a peek at both....they display beautifully together! The craftsmanship is wonderful! Full bronze collar & hinge so that's strong and the fine textured & tooled leather is in great shape too! Rich maroon ...
$761 USD SaleSALE Fine Antique French Scent Caddy, 3 Baccarat Bottles, Napoleon III era c. 1840-70
Antiques:Antique Perfume & Cologne Bottles
Usually when we find these old Napoleon III era scent caddies, we open then to find missing or broken bottles and or tattered and incomplete fittings into which they might fit. But as you can see, this one surprised me with a most elegant and pristine interior. The old Baccarat scent bottles remain undamaged, still with their fitted stoppers intact and still set beautifully in that creamy silk interior. No question on this one - display it open. Even though it's got some nice French inlay in the ...
$421 USD SaleSALE RARE 1780-1820 Antique Shagreen Etui, Scent or Salts Bottle
Antiques:Antique Perfume & Cologne Bottles
The tiny salts bottle, requisite companion for all pre-post Revolutionary Frenchmen and women (smelling or perfumed salts, opened to freshen the air in crowds, etc), this lovely old tiny salts flask or flacon is still neatly preserved inside its very original and very rare shagreen etui. The case is ancient, so nice to find it in such fine condition as you see here. The very fine grain or 'scale' of the old stingray leather (shagreen is stingray or shark skin) is consistent with the very fine ...
$421 USD SaleSALE Gorgeous Antique 14K Gold Perfume Flask, 7mm Pearl
Antiques:Antique Perfume & Cologne Bottles
Now and then we find a gold capped flacon or perfume flask, and this week we've got 3 to list - amazingly enough (listed separately so look for them all. Such a beauty, this elegant facet-cut crystal flask and its 14k yellow gold cap. In very good condition, missing only the original stopper, but one can have a replacement cut for it for around $20. We've tested the gold, confirming it at 14k and it's quite likely English in origin, but it is without any marks. In any case, it is a heavy gauge ...
$336 USD SaleSALE RARE Antique English Sterling & Crystal 11" Scent Flask - London marks, 1877 date mark
Antiques:Antique Perfume & Cologne Bottles
Fine gold on English sterling (vermeil) caps the long slender and elegant laydown scent or liqueur flask we offer here. Nearly 11" long, we've had only one other of this size and type over the years, and I've always regretted that sale, as it had also a crown topped monogram. Alas, we're in the business of selling antiques, and so this will also leave me. The other sold for $700, if memory serves, and this is priced way below that, yet is just as fabulous. The intricate wheel cut flask has very ...
$1,101 USD SaleSALE RARE! Georgian 1750s Antique French 18K Gold & Shagreen 4 Scent Flasks, Perfume Caddy,Etui
Antiques:Antique Perfume & Cologne Bottles
From a turbulent time! Think of it - King Louis XV of France was busy managing the 7 Years War, and his mistress the famed Mdme Pompadour, of course, when this amazing set was created. Perhaps it even passed through some of those boudoir at Versailles, or perfumed lovers you only read about today. This is such a rare and fine museum piece, you who collect scent bottles and caddies will surely be pleased to see it. We've seen one similar in the Musee des Arts Decoratif in the Louvre in Paris, and ...
$336 USD SaleSALE Set of 3 Antique French Sterling Silver Top Vanity Perfume Flasks
Antiques:Antique Perfume & Cologne Bottles
Likely from Baccarat, but we don't see a signature and can't be certain, but the set is a stunning example of French cut crystal and finely worked sterling silver caps over stoppered jars - finest quality, and sure to be a most elegant addition to your collection or vanity/dresser top. The set includes 3 graduated sizes, each in fine shape. Very good to excellent condition. No chips or cracks in any of the 3 bottles, and only mild push to a spot or two on lids. The most serious flaw is the one ...

Wonderful six piece antique French hallmarked sterling silver topped cut crystal dressing set: vanity jars and large perfume or cologne bottles with ornate interlaced monograms! Amazing condition really and what a bargain! A comprehensive six piece set, all original with long cylindrical toothbrush jar, an oval cotton jar and four beautiful large perfume or cologne decanters!

Antiques:Antique Perfume & Cologne Bottles
A surprisingly fine old 19th century French perfume or scent caddy, complete with the original 3 bottles inside that remain in fine condition and are complete with their fitted and numbered stoppers. Dating c. 1850-80, the condition is exceptionally fine for this type of set. So often the stoppers are missing or damaged, or same with bottles. The casket is remarkably damage free, has just the fading of the emerald-green fabric which would have once been a brilliant combination with the high gold ...
SOLDSOLD Antique French Napoleon III Perfume or Scent Casket - Baccarat Bottles, Gilded!
Antiques:Antique Perfume & Cologne Bottles
The ebonized exterior of this beautiful old French vanity box helps us date it to the Second Empire, or 'Napoleon III' era in France. Roughly 1850-70, and mid-Victorian, the aesthetic ran to the black, red, Oriental and Empire aesthetic adopted to France and around the world under the influence of Louis Napoleon's wife, the Empress Eugenie. The last French Emperor and Empress to reign, the pair were also the last to actually live in the Louvre Palace in Paris, and you still can visit their Royal ...
SOLDSOLD Antique French Perfume Scent Caddy, Mother of Pearl 'Egg'
Antiques:Antique Perfume & Cologne Bottles
A mechanical movement that opens the 'egg' with a downward push on the finial top, typical of the style we have here: a Napoleon III era perfume presentation etui, or caddy made from the two highly polished halves of a natural shell, these are always a favorite! This one is simpler than some we have, but it has the 2 original and perfectly fitted littel perfum flasks or bottles and each even retains the original glass stoppers, as you can see from our photos. A must have item for any collector ...
Antiques:Antique Perfume & Cologne Bottles
A splendid antique French perfume vial, flacon, this time in fine kiln-fired enamel on sterling silver, mounted with 18k gold on sterling silver (vermeil) collar and in excellent condition. Fabulous little mandolin player in a foil-backed red suit just shimmers on the surface of the natural scene into which he has been placed. I've written about these enamel works of art many times before. The process for these works is arduous, painstaking, impossibly difficult to master, so when you see a fine ...
Antiques:Antique Perfume & Cologne Bottles
A fabulous Grand Tour souvenir perfume or scent bottle, flask, in mouth blown electric blue opaline glass that has a stunningly fine hot-glass architectural rendering, don't you agree? The Cathedral rendered here is, of course, the great gothic beauty in Koln, Germany (see inset photo). A Victorian era Grand Tour souvenir, this one survives unscathed by time, with no damage and with the original stopper still in place. It has been a treasured item for many many generations, obviously. Very goo ...

Great HOLIDAY GIFT IDEA! Very Fine & Rare 19th Century French Napoleon III Maple Veneered Triple Scent Caddy/Box with Three Gilt Decorated Unmarked Baccarat Scent/Cologne Bottles! The box itself is a bit less ornate than what we're used to but there is something to that "simple and elegant" styling! Dome topped with kingwood? corner bands at each side. The interior retains the original lining and fittings and boasts three wheel cut & gilt enamel adorned unmarked Baccarat perfume decanters, each ...
SOLDSOLD Antique Papier Mache Scent Casket, 2 Paris Eglomise Perfumes
Antiques:Antique Perfume & Cologne Bottles
A mid-1800s Grand Tour coffret, scent caddy, in beautifully painted papier mache, fitted interior still holding the pair of French perfume bottles with their souvenir paintings up top, scenes from Paris. This one is not quite perfect, but it's got so much charm to go along with the very reasonable price tag, it's sure to win your heart. Victorian papier mache casket hasn't any damage at the hinges, which is normally the case if there's going to be damage, so it's sound and stable. But it's got ...
Antiques:Antique Perfume & Cologne Bottles
Well, here is a very rare treat, indeed! The complete and pristine 1850-70s Grand Tour cologne/perfume or scent caddy you see here is remarkable both for its complete form and for its elegant pristine condition. The set you see here is as originally made (we have a casket or caddy shell also in inventory, but it's without the old bottles and interior fitting), and all 4 of the perfume or cologne bottles are in as fine a condition as the caddy. Not a flaw to note in this one - truly better than ...| Items 1 - 29 of 29 | Page 1 of 1 |
