Description
Late 19th century French silver mounted scent bottle. The panel cut body is decorated in hand enamelled honeysuckle flowers and leaves. The engine turned silver lid repeats the floral theme around the rim and is hinged, opening to reveal the original peg stopper. A beautiful and rather unusual example, unmarked but tests as silver.
