Description
19th Century Victorian 'Gothic revival' figured walnut scent bottle casket in fine condition. No missing or replaced veneer. Mellow unspoilt patina. Ornate incised brass and contrasting bovine overlays all firmly attached with the original dome top brass studs….all complete. There are a few very minor hairline fractures to the white bands but they Are minor..please see photographs. The lid closes perfectly square. Original hinges and lock with a replacement working key supplied. Original lining and dividers in excellent condition with no tears or stains. The bottles are replacements, all match, all cut crystal, all in A1 condition. They fit quite well and could of course be raised by placing temporary risers in the base or perhaps with some patience bottle of the correct period could be sourced…they were often made in quite standard sizes.
As it stands it is a fine looking example of this ever increasingly difficult style of box to come across…. in particular in such condition.
