FAQs

During the Victorian era, silver scent bottles were used to carry perfumes, aromatic oils, or smelling salts. These portable vessels were often worn on a chatelaine belt or carried in a purse to revive the user or mask unpleasant urban odours.

Late Victorian silver scent bottles were typically constructed from sterling silver using techniques such as die-stamping, repousse, and chasing to create detailed surface patterns. Stoppers were engineered with screw threads or tight friction fits to prevent evaporation.

Authentic British pieces feature official assay marks stamping the purity mark (such as the lion passant for sterling silver), a city mark (such as an anchor for Birmingham), a date letter, and a makers mark.

Small antique silver vessels can be displayed on a vanity tray, styled within a glass cloche, or arranged alongside framed art and books on a dressing table or bedside nightstand.

Antique silver should be cleaned gently using a soft, lint-free cloth and a specialized silver polishing cream to remove tarnish without stripping natural oxidisation from recessed decorative details.
