Baccarat Perfumes 2 Antique Sterling Crystal Bottles - 1838 Minerve / Minerva No. 1 Marks and Tray

Antiques : French Antiques : Glass, Crystal : Silver, Sterling

 

Elegant Set, of Two Fine French Perfume Crystal Scent Bottles (likely Baccarat but these have no signature). Both Collars and Lids of the Bottles have the 1838 French Minerve [Minerva N° 1] hallmark (.950/1000 - the highest standard, which is a higher standard than Sterling Silver).

These Perfumes are very portable as well! Perfect for your purse. They are adorned with fluted optic panels in design, authentic pieces, very weighty and sharply-edged all trimmed in Sterling Silver.

Each Elegant Bottle measures about 3 1/2 inches tall and 1 inch in diameter. Both have Wheel-cut Stoppers totally intact with no damage, positively ground for these bottles...an original marriage. The lovely "scrolled vine" lids are LINED in what appears to be leather.

As a Beautiful accent, we include a Silver Floral Pettipoint Tray with Dainty Floral Border inside and Foliate Border outside, measuring 5 inches from scrolled handle to handle and Stamped Apollo Silver 2695 4 (Apollo Silver Co. manufactured silver from approximately 1872-1904). Stands about 3/4" high. Prettiest Hand Stitched needlepoint netting with floral roses and leaves, which are between 2 pieces of glass. Notice the hand stitched knots on the reverse side! This lovely tray stands on 4 small silver feet and conveniently comes apart for cleaning... Highest Quality! (See photos).

Very beautiful and in Wonderful Condition with only a small flea bite to the outside of one of the bottles which does not go through and barely visible to the naked eye, a few bubbles in the crystal confirming age, and an extremely shallow dent to one of the sterling lids. Fully functional, they will house your best perfume...adding a stunning accent to your vanity or dresser.
