What periods do these vanity boxes come from?

The pieces span the Georgian, Regency, and Victorian eras, with several examples originating from the nineteenth century. Specific dates recorded among the items range from eighteen hundred and twenty through to the eighteen nineties.

What materials were used for the bottles?

The bottles are primarily made from cut glass and crystal, often featuring glass stoppers and decorative shaping. Many examples include additions of silver, silver-gilt, or Baccarat glass elements on the perfume and scent bottles.

How were these fitted boxes originally used?

They served as portable dressing stations for travellers and ladies, keeping personal grooming items organised. Inside the rosewood or walnut cases, compartments held perfumes, colognes, jewellery, and writing or cosmetic implements.

Common cabinet timbers include rosewood, walnut, coromandel, and kingwood, selected for their rich grain. Cabinetmakers frequently added brass binding, mother-of-pearl inlay, or ormolu mounts to decorate the exterior surfaces.
