FAQs

Art Deco scent bottles from the interwar period are characterised by geometric precision, symmetrical patterns, and a synthesis of fine materials like silver, glass, and enamel.

Luxury dressing table items of this era typically combined blown or moulded glass bodies with sterling silver, silver gilt collars, and occasionally specialised glass effects mimicking tortoiseshell or horn.

Authentic pieces carry stamped hallmarks indicating the assay office, date letter, makers mark, and standard of silver purity, such as the lion passant for sterling silver.

Such decorative objects are traditionally placed on a mirrored tray atop a dressing table, console, or bathroom counter to reflect light and add historic character.

Silver components should be gently cleaned with a non-abrasive silver cloth, avoiding any harsh chemical dips, while glass bodies can be wiped carefully with a damp microfibre cloth.
