FAQs

Victorian scent bottles are small containers crafted during the 19th century, typically featuring sterling silver caps or mountings often decorated with repousse floral motifs, designed to hold aromatic perfumes or smelling salts.

These bottles were commonly constructed using blown or moulded glass, such as amethyst, cobalt, or cranberry glass, paired with hallmarked sterling silver caps, gilt metal, or sometimes cut crystal.

Authenticity is typically verified by examining silver hallmarks for date letters and makers marks, checking for hand-cut or mouth-blown glass characteristics, and inspecting the inner stopper mechanism for proper fit.

They can be displayed on a vanity tray, dressing table, or mantelpiece alongside other small collectables, adding a touch of historical elegance and colour to domestic spaces.

Silver components should be gently cleaned with a non-abrasive silver cloth avoiding contact with the glass, while the glass body can be wiped with a soft, damp cloth. Harsh chemical dips should be avoided to protect antique finishes.
