What is a Victorian silver vanity accessory?

These items are personal grooming and dressing tools fashioned from sterling silver, glass and tortoiseshell during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. They encompass portable items like card cases and chatelaines alongside dressing table pieces such as scent bottles and trinket boxes.

How were scent bottles used?

Scent bottles held liquid perfumes or smelling salts for personal refreshment during travel or social outings. Double-ended versions allowed the owner to carry two distinct fragrances or a perfume and salts combination. They were sealed with screw caps or hinged stoppers fitted with cork or glass daubers.

What materials are common in these pieces?

Sterling silver and white metal form the primary structural and decorative elements across most listed items. These metals appear alongside cut crystal, glass, steel, velvet and tortoiseshell. Fittings often incorporate interior gilt linings and original leather presentation cases.
