Antique French 18K, Lapis & Rock Crystal Perfume Bottle, Auguste Fraumont, 1850

About the Item

Antique Perfume Bottle, 18K yellow gold, fine natural vivid blue lapis with slight flecks of gold, and rock crystal by Auguste Fraumont , c. 1850. an important jeweler working in Paris, at 51, rue Neuve-des-Petits-Champs. Fraumont was especially known for his fine diamond jewelry. This rock crystal perfume bottle is in excellent condition, the hand engraving is fine and intricately executed on 18K yellow gold. The hinged top works very well and shows no sign of wear or overuse. The large cabochon cut lapis lazuli stone at the top is a bright blue. The stopper is original along with the use of a lady's hair (no doubt the original ower) to absorb any leakage. This piece is not marked, but has been acid tested to confirm its gold content of 18K, 750. Please note our model has a medium to large size hand. Today, a preponderance of jewelry is machine made in large factories around the world with abundant and obvious suspicions as to its enduring qualities using not only inferior stones, but also man made stones and treated stones utilizing artificial substances. Alternatively, this is a wonderful antique object displaying the finest of workmanship will always "hold" its value. All items sold are accompanied by a detailed Statement of Value, as well as any related gemological reports. Jewelry sold is guaranteed to be authentic and as represented. All diamonds are from the earth. We never use lab grown, synthetic diamonds. Each piece of jewelry arrives in a fine gift-wrapped presentation box. We have made every attempt to photograph our jewelry with the proper lighting conditions to display our pieces as they are in real life. However no amount of effort on our end can give the reader realistic colors if the receiving system is imprecise. For realism in color, "It takes two to tango". We have also photographed our pieces on different colors and different body types to provide our viewers with abundant information that we hope will permit them to make their best decision. If questions arise that we have not addressed here, please contact us and we shall respond. Unless stated otherwise, or stated exactly; all weights and grades are approximated by our Gemologist using both GIA Instruments as well as instruments used as a standard and accepted practice within our trade. All purities involving metals - gold, silver, platinum, palladium are approximated within 1%. This allows for the legal tolerance in the jewelry industry. For example, 14K usually indicates a purity of 58.3% gold. However, manufacturing jewelers can legally label a piece as 14K as long as it is above 13K, or 54.2%. Over the decades our stewardship as a small but exemplary purveyor of the jeweler's art, has required that we we offer a fine and authentic selection, in excellent condition, of collectible jewels from all highly sought time periods at competitive prices. In the process we have had the extraordinary good fortune of meeting remarkable people - some collectors, some extremely interesting individuals who have taken the time and effort to examine their lives and select things that tend to make them smile, admire or just wonder at the exciting, endlessly creative and nuanced panoply of jeweled artifacts.
