Vintage Perfume Bottles

Since ancient times perfume bottles have been considered an art form. The container that held the perfume was considered as valuable as the perfume itself. Through the ages, perfume containers and vessels have come in a variety of materials, shapes and sizes.

Carol Collier, stand S041-43
"1920s/30s silk bag with matching purse because of the lovely art nouveau/deco material and beautiful clasp, the fact that it is so fragile and in amazing condition for it's age."
 Paola and Iaia - The Originals, stand S057-58
Iaia: "Late Victorian iron holder because usually practical things can be quite non decorative just utilitarian, this looks nice, a lot of work has been put into it."
Paola: "I like everything in our stand, I don't buy if I don't like."

Steven Lazarus, stand F017
"1920s French day bed because of the simplicity of the style and the ends drop down."
