The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Victorian scent bottles were small decorative containers crafted during the 19th century to hold perfumes, essential oils, or smelling salts. Designed to be carried in pockets or displayed on dressing tables, they combined practical utility with ornamental metalwork and glassmaking.

These pieces were typically crafted using hand-cut or blown coloured glass, such as ruby, cobalt, or cranberry glass, paired with metal fittings. Caps and collars were commonly fashioned from sterling silver, silver plate, or gold, often featuring chased or embossed detailing.

Authentic pieces generally display genuine hallmarks or makers marks stamped onto the silver collar or cap, indicating purity and assay location. Additionally, period-appropriate glass exhibits hand-faceted cutting, subtle natural variations, and slight surface wear on the base.

A decorative scent bottle can be placed on a mirrored vanity tray, styled alongside decorative glassware on a bookshelf, or arranged on a bedside table. Grouping bottles of varying heights and jewel tones creates an attractive visual accent.

Dust the glass surfaces gently using a clean microfibre cloth, avoiding full immersion in water to protect silver mounts and internal stoppers. Silver caps should be polished carefully with a specialised silver cloth to avoid polish residue touching the glass.
