A perfume box, often called a scent casket, is a fitted container designed to hold delicate glass scent bottles securely. These pieces gained immense popularity during the Victorian era as essential accessories for elite dressing tables.

Craftsmen typically utilised exotic hardwoods such as rosewood, mahogany, or burr walnut for the exterior carcass, often incorporating brass hardware, mother-of-pearl inlay, and velvet or silk linings to cushion the cut-glass decanters.

Authentic pieces feature period-correct construction methods such as hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass or steel locks, ground-glass stoppers unique to each individual bottle, and natural ageing patinas on the timber.

This piece serves as an elegant tabletop accessory that adds historical texture and refined craftsmanship when displayed on a surface, tray, or dressing area.

Keep the timber conditioned with microcrystalline wax and avoid direct sunlight to prevent the wood from drying out. Clean the crystal bottles gently with warm water, ensuring the interiors are completely dry before replacing the stoppers.
