19thc Large Hallmarked Silver and Cut Glass Victorian Double Ended Perfume or Scent Bottle.

Select
Description

19th century Victorian English hallmarked silver and cut glass very large double ended perfume or scent bottle of superb quality.

The lozenge shaped scent bottle has 10 panel cut sides with facet cut shoulders to each end. Both ends have very heavy gauge silver tops with interesting very fine foliate and garland engraving. One end, for smelling salts, opens perfectly with a push button catch, found only on the finest bottles, and the inner lid is lined with glass and stamped Diller underneath, with the Queen's crown. The other end has a threaded top with original cork lining. Both ends close tightly and perfectly.

The glass is in perfect condition. There is some minor bruising to the silver tops. The hallmarks are rubbed, so the exact year cannot be determined, but the young Queen Victoria's duty mark is quite clear.

A really lovely and unusual very high quality scent bottle in very good condition.

Size 5.25 inches long and 1.5 inches wide.

Declaration

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.

A double-ended scent bottle is a 19th-century vanity accessory designed with two separate glass compartments sealed at opposite ends by metal caps. Typically, one end contained liquid perfume secured with a screw cap, while the other held smelling salts or solid cologne behind a hinged cap.

Victorian scent bottles were predominantly constructed from faceted, clear, or coloured lead glass combined with sterling silver, silver gilt, or nickel mounts. The interior caps often included small cork stoppers or glass stoppers to prevent liquid evaporation.

Authentic pieces generally display full British hallmarks or makers marks on the silver mounts, indicating the assay office, silver purity, and date letter. Additionally, period glass displays hand-cut facets with slight irregularities and hand-chased ornamentation on the caps.

These small decorative items are frequently displayed on a dressing table tray, a bathroom vanity counter, or grouped alongside other antique glass accessories on a decorative shelf to add texture and historical interest.

Clean the exterior silver caps using a soft cloth and silver polish, avoiding contact between polish and the glass surface. The glass interior should be rinsed with lukewarm water and mild soap, ensuring complete drying to prevent moisture residue.
