FAQs

Palais Royal items were luxury goods sold in the arcades of the Palais-Royal in Paris during the 18th and 19th centuries, frequently featuring cut glass and gilded bronze mounts often acquired as Grand Tour souvenirs.

These decorative objects are predominantly constructed from heavy hand-cut crystal or glass, mounted with cast ormolu (gilt bronze or brass), and occasionally inset with hand-painted porcelain or enamel plaques.

Authentic pieces generally display period-correct hand-cut facets with natural wear to the base, finely chased ormolu mounts with hand-finished details, and traditional ground glass stoppers rather than modern synthetic seals.

An antique scent bottle can be displayed singly or within a curated collection on a mirrored dressing tray, a velvet-lined vanity counter, or a mantelpiece to add historical texture to a room.

Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid using chemical polishes or water on the ormolu mounts to preserve the original gilding and patina on the metalwork.
