French Inlaid Rosewood Perfume Bottle Box + Bottles c.1870

French inlaid rosewood perfume bottle box complete with bottles in very good condition. Inlaid cartouche and escutcheon complemented by the edge trim to the lid. Unspoilt patina. Even colour and grain to all aspects of the box exterior. The lid closes perfectly square. Original hinges and lock, (the key for decorative purposes only). Original velvet and wood lining to the lid interior and base section….all complete, in very good condition and free of tears. The bottles are a matching pair. One has a Very small chip to the bottom of the octagonal top edging but it can only be seen upon very close examination. The style of the box and the use of the exterior decoration and materials used to the interior is typically French and was a combination frequently used on French boxes of various styles.
