Antique Victorian Gold Vinaigrette Scent Box Pendant
About the Item
This is an antique Victorian gold vinaigrette box pendant. The vinaigrette is richly engraved with a floral decor. Vinaigrettes were used for solid fragrances and a sponge was placed under this beautiful openworked grille. The sponge was soaked in a vinegar-based perfume - behind the rack there is still a used piece of sponge, but it is odorless. The date '1847' is engraved on the inside of the lid of the box.
Being able to drown out the smell of muddy streets and open sewers with sweet-smelling scents was essential for anyone who could afford it. Vinaigrettes were therefore important accessories for the sophisticated lady or gentleman. Not only could it disguise the smells of the streets; many also believed that pleasant smells would protect them from disease.
The vinaigrette box pendant is in very good condition and of high quality. The box measures 31 x 19 x 13 millimeters and has a nice heavy weight of 11 grams. Hallmarks are present and visible.
We will wrap your pendant box beautifully in a black and gold jewelry box.

William Hair Haseler was born to John and Sarah Evett (Hair) Haseler in 1821/1822 in Birmingham, England. In 1870, Haseler founded the company, W. H. Haseler & Co., specializing in gold and silver work, and jewelry.
Five years later, Arthur Lasenby Liberty (1843-1917) started a small shop on the corner of Regent Street in London. Specializing in exotic goods from Japan and the Far East, his business thrived and he became a leading merchant to the upper classes, including famous members of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. The store soon became the most fashionable place to shop in London, featuring luxurious wares including fabrics, clothing, furniture, clocks, jewelry, wallpapers and decorative objects of all kinds. His efforts to promote the Art Nouveau style, with its depiction of leaves and flowers in flowing ornamental lines, were so influential that the term “Stile Liberty” became the accepted term for the style in Italy.
During the 1890s, Liberty formed relationships with many leading English designers. In 1898, Liberty and Haseler created a formal partnership to launch the Cymric silver...
