A superb Victorian silver gilt scent bottle and pill box combination. The body is of wrythen and lobed form with a hinged panel to the front, opening to reveal a reserve for pills or comfits. There is a hinged and domed lid to the top, with an internal cork seal and this superior piece is richly gilded inside and out. A most unusual, dual purpose collector''s piece and a great gift idea, both decorative and usable. Dimensions below.
