Description
An elegant matched pair of late 19th-century Victorian ormolu-mounted perfume bottles, each featuring an internal glass reservoir housed within an intricately pierced gilt metal stand.
The ornate ormolu bodies are richly decorated with floral and scrolling motifs, allowing the warm amber glass to glow through the front medallion. Each bottle retains its original clear glass dauber stopper, which seals the neck when in place, preserving fragrance as originally intended.
Designed for display on a dressing table or vanity, these scent bottles exemplify the refined craftsmanship and decorative sensibility of the Victorian era. Offered as a complete and matching pair, they are both functional and highly decorative.
A rare and desirable set, particularly with both daubers present.

Structurally sound and complete as a matching pair.
