Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

This rare silver scent bottle and powder compact combination dates from the 1930 Edwardian period and follows an Art Deco glamour style. The piece consists of a polished sterling silver casing with a hinged compact lid, a screw stopper with a round finial, a gilded interior well containing remnants of powder, and a separate peach-coloured fabric powder puff with gold trim. Hallmarks appear on the silver parts, including date letters for Birmingham 1929 and 1930, alongside an inscription reading Scottie 1929. The item measures 7 cm high, 4.5 cm wide, and 1.5 cm deep. This vanity accessory serves as a decorative display piece on a bedside table in a home today. The silver body reflects light, while the interior shows signs of wear with residual powder in the gilded well and minor fraying on the fabric puff. The compact lid opens vertically next to the threaded stopper assembly, and the detached puff lies below the main body on the display surface.

FAQs

A scent bottle powder compact combination is a dual-function vanity accessory created to carry liquid perfume alongside face powder within a single silver vessel.

These items were primarily constructed from sterling silver, silver plate, or brass, often featuring gilding, enamel work, and internal fabric powder puffs.

Authentic silver pieces display official assay hallmark stamps indicating purity, makers marks, and date letters, alongside signs of hand-finished construction.

Position the piece on a bedroom dressing table, a bathroom counter tray, or an open display shelf to add historical detail to modern spaces.

Wipe the surface gently with a soft microfibre cloth and specialised silver polish, avoiding submersion to protect internal mirrors and fabric components.
