FAQs

Victorian scent bottles were small, portable containers used during the 19th century to hold liquid perfumes or smelling salts, often carried in chatelaines or kept on dressing tables.

These items typically feature blown glass bodies, most notably in rich cranberry or ruby shades, combined with sterling silver, hallmarked silver-gilt, or brass caps and mounts.

Authenticity is usually confirmed by hallmarks on the metal caps, hand-blown glass irregularities, hand-painted gilt decoration, and period-appropriate hinged or screw-cap mechanisms.

They make excellent decorative accents when displayed on a mirrored tray, dressing table, or mantelpiece, catching the light and adding a touch of period elegance to contemporary spaces.

Clean the glass gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals on painted or gilt details, and use a specialized silver cloth for the metal components.
