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.
