Inspired by the elegance of the reign of Louis XV, the Rococo Revival celebrated asymmetrical scrollwork, naturalistic ornamentation, and lavish goldwork. Perfume bottles such as this were treasured accessories carried by fashionable ladies or displayed within finely appointed dressing rooms, reflecting both personal refinement and the extraordinary skill of France's master jewelers and goldsmiths. Openwork filigree mounts of this complexity required countless hours of meticulous hand fabrication, making surviving examples increasingly scarce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElegant, refined, and exceptionally crafted, this 19th-century French Rococo scent bottle represents the pinnacle of luxury decorative arts. Its richly detailed 18K gold filigree cage, ornate repoussé mushroom-form hinged lid, and exquisite French craftsmanship combine to create a museum-quality object of enduring beauty. Highly sought after by collectors of antique perfume bottles, French goldwork, and fine objets de vertu, this remarkable piece is a sophisticated reminder of an era when even the smallest personal accessories were executed with extraordinary artistry and timeless elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"z-0 flex min-h-[46px] justify-start\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrand\/Maker: Unknown\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEra: 1900s\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaterial(s): Lead Glass Crystal\/18k gold\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMarkings\/Stamps: None\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClosure: Hinged\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeasurements\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Width (side to side): 2\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Height (top to bottom): 3.5\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Depth (back to front): 1.25\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Weight: 144g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCall Outs: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMissing original stopper\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSku: KO22\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-a1e18df2-7fff-37c9-8bad-d8ec062c2226\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kate O.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46250403561658,"sku":"KO22","price":3800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9124\/9082\/files\/IMG_9744.jpg?v=1787248589","url":"https:\/\/thisandthatvintage.com\/products\/ko22-19th-c-french-objet-de-vertu-rococo-style-scent-bottle-with-18k-gold-open-work-filigree-cage-topper-and-ornate-repousse-engraved-mushroom-hinged-lid-bb5d","provider":"This \u0026 That Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
