Antique Victorian late 19th century wooden scent casket encased in ornate reticulated metal fittings, gothic studs and a large escutcheon shaped lock. The domed top lid opens to reveal a blue satin lined interior housing a set of three cut crystal cylindrical perfume bottles with brass threaded tops and original stoppers. Rows of vertical cut panels adorn each barrel shaped perfume bottle, with a 12-point cut starburst at the bottom.

Imagine, your own personal treasure chest! A rarity to be sure, for a perfume caddy of such large size. The caddy measures 7 3/4" in length, 4 5/8" in height and 3 3/4" in width. Each perfume bottle measures about 3 1/2" in height. Overall the set is in very good condition for its age, with a fleabite or two and one stopper is stuck. The wooden box has normal wear from use, light nicking and an age crack located on one side.
