FAQs

A scent bottle etui is a small ornamental container crafted during the 18th and early 19th centuries to house a glass perfume flask or smelling salts for personal use.

These items were predominantly constructed from sterling silver and frequently featured bright-cut engraving, hand-chased ornamentation, and interior glass or gilt phials.

Authentic pieces bear official British hallmark stamps, including the makers mark, town mark, date letter, and sterling purity mark, alongside period-appropriate hand-engraved motifs.

Small silver objects can be displayed under a glass cloche, arranged on a marble vanity tray, or placed inside a glazed collector display cabinet to highlight detailed craftsmanship.

Silver items should be wiped gently with a soft microfibre cloth and specialised non-abrasive silver polish, keeping them stored away from high humidity to prevent tarnish.
