FAQs

A chatelaine scent bottle is a small, portable perfume container designed to be suspended from a chatelaine, a decorative belt hook worn by women in the 18th and 19th centuries to carry household tools and personal accessories.

Overlay glass is crafted by fusing two or more distinct layers of glass of different colours together while molten, after which portions of the outer layer are cut away using a wheel to reveal the contrasting base layer beneath.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit hand-cut facets with slight irregularities, period-appropriate metal mounts such as brass or silver-gilt, and wear consistent with age on the base.

These small objects can be styled on a vanity tray, within a glass-fronted cabinet, or on a mantelpiece alongside other small curiosities to add historical texture to a room.

Clean antique glass gently with lukewarm water and a mild detergent, avoiding harsh chemicals, abrasive materials, or immersion of the delicate metal caps and mounts to prevent corrosion.
