FAQs

Scent bottles became essential personal accessories during the Victorian era, designed to hold liquid perfumes or smelling salts. Silver sleeves and encasements often featured elaborate relief work reflecting late 19th-century decorative tastes.

These bottles typically feature glass containers encased in sterling silver or silver plate, topped with fitted glass stoppers or hinged silver caps to prevent evaporation.

Authentic pieces usually display British hallmark impressions indicating the silver purity, town mark, and date letter. Engraved commemorative dates and detailed repousse metalwork are also indicative of period craftsmanship.

Silver scent bottles are ideal for display on bedside tables, bathroom counters, or vanity trays. Grouping them alongside books or crystal trinket dishes creates a curated vignette.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and polish silver mounts using a soft cloth with dedicated silver foam. Avoid submerging glass stoppers with residue in hot water to prevent damage or clouding.
