FAQs

A Victorian scent casket is a decorative wooden or metal box designed specifically to house perfume or scent bottles, popular during the nineteenth century as a luxury vanity accessory.

These caskets were typically constructed from figured hardwoods such as burr walnut or rosewood, embellished with brass or ormolu mounts, and lined with silk or velvet to cushion cut-glass perfume bottles.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-finished wood veneers, period-correct brass strapwork, original fitted fabric interiors, and hand-cut glass bottles with ground stoppers.

Display the casket open on a bedroom dressing table, bathroom counter, or sideboard top to highlight the contrast between the timber exterior and the fabric lining with glass bottles.

Maintain the timber by applying a clear beeswax polish periodically, keep the piece away from direct sunlight and moisture, and wipe the glass bottles gently with a lint-free cloth.
