FAQs

Scent boxes and perfume caddies gained popularity during the Georgian and Victorian periods, designed to safely house delicate glass scent bottles while travelling or for display on a dressing table.

These boxes were typically constructed from a secondary timber base, such as pine or mahogany, and veneered with decorative luxury woods like burr walnut, amboyna, or tortoiseshell, often accented with brass mounts and escutcheons.

Authentic pieces usually feature period-appropriate construction methods such as hand-cut dovetail joints, old brass hardware, aged timber patination, and fitted interiors designed specifically to hold glass bottles.

Place the box on a console table, bookshelf, or mantelpiece as a textural accent piece, allowing the warm wood grain and brass details to add character to contemporary spaces.

Keep wooden boxes away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity to prevent veneer cracking. Dust gently with a dry microfibre cloth and occasionally apply a quality beeswax to nourish the timber.
