About the Item
Extraordinary Rare Silver Metal Mounted Cut Glass Scent Bottle on a Victorian Silver Stand by George Edward & Sons
An impressive representation of finer living during the Edwardian or Victorian era with silver metal-mounted cut glass embellishments and open foliage scroll mounts. The silver stand is hallmarked by maker George Edward & Sons, Glasgow 1892, the shaped circular bowl repoussé with scrolls, foliage and birds over a lower fluted band on four lion's mask to paw feet.
The scent of a woman has long been one of the most enticing factors and would have been just as important centuries ago as it is today. In this silver-topped crystal scent bottle, you can get an idea of an upper-class home, possibly of noble origin, due to the intricate details. This is truly a remarkable piece, from the ornate silver filigree overlay to the silver mush cap.
You will find the original stopper included in this item. The silver details of the shoulder rest extend into the Victorian silver stand, another clear sign of class and prestige due to the expensive cost of production.
Little by little, this design would have given way to hinged scent bottles, rubber ball sprays, and into the modern era of spritz application. However, this marks the Edwardian era and possibly is older due to the materials, craftsmanship, and design style.
This highly fragile piece will be packed accordingly to ensure safe delivery.

- Rare Antique Pocket Key Watch French 1800s with Painted Enamel DialLocated in London, GBRare Antique Pocket Key Watch French 1800s with Painted Enamel Dial in Working Order An exceptional example of French craftwork estimated from the mid-1800s with delicate enamel painting on the dial and bespoke Roman numerals. Pocket watches have long been a token of style and refinement, even in today’s modern era. During the mid-1800s, this would have been a status symbol as manufacturing had increased so that it was more widely available. Everyone from businessmen to international travelers would have relied on a precise pocket watch to measure the train schedules, daily paper, and end of the work day. In this case, the unique painted enamel on the dial and custom Roman numerals would mean a man of means owned this watch. Instead of relying on a more standard manufactured piece, this would have been hand-finished, demonstrating more wealth. What makes this particular timepiece so rare is the polychrome decoration of a city on the water. When you look closely at the dial, you’ll find detailed decorations of a cartouche and flora motifs perfectly offsetting the silver casement. Both of the keys are attached to a metal chain, and the appearance of the monogrammed FB is evident on the cover metal. A French inscription on the interior reads: “Echappement a Cylindre Aiguilles Quatre Rubiz.” The keys refer to the critical winding and lock set for maintaining the watch. You can also see the makers mark numbered 9356 11509. ------------------------------ Condition Report: In worker order and high quality, considering it is an antique pocket watch. There are minor age-related marks on the silver casement and some fading that will be cleaned and polished before shipping. No damage to the enamel or hands. We service all pocket watches...Category
