This Victorian scent bottle combines sterling silver and clear cut glass, displaying a distinctive blend of materials. The piece takes the form of a rectangular perfume container with an ornate pierced silver overlay featuring intricate scrollwork framing the clear glass panels. The base glass shows a prominent starburst cut pattern radiating from the centre, while the neck culminates in a round embossed silver cap with detailed repoussé decoration and horizontal bands just below the rounded finial. A clear glass body contrasts with the reflective silver elements. Measuring 14 cms tall and 6 cms square, this compact antique fits well on a bedside table or dressing table in a bedroom today. The silver components bear hallmarks indicating manufacture in Birmingham in 1894 by Henry Matthews, accompanied by an original interior stopper.

FAQs

A Victorian silver scent bottle is a small personal vessel produced during the nineteenth century to hold perfume or smelling salts, often crafted from glass or crystal with sterling silver mounts.

These bottles were typically manufactured with hand-cut glass bodies fitted into silver collars, hinged lids, or screw caps, frequently featuring intricate chased, embossed, or pierced silver overlays.

Authentic late Victorian silver scent bottles display official British assay office hallmarks on the silver components, including the lion passant standard mark, town mark, makers initials, and a date letter.

Display the bottle on a mirrored vanity tray, arrange it alongside books on a bedside table, or place it inside a glass-fronted curio cabinet to introduce historic texture to modern spaces.

Clean the glass body using a soft, damp cloth and polish the sterling silver cap with a specialized silver polishing cloth, avoiding harsh liquid cleaners or submerging internal stoppers.
