This exquisite 19th-century French scent bottle is a rare treasure of Parisian artistry. Hand-blown from luminous blue opaline glass, its brilliant hue and flawless form are matched only by the extraordinary craftsmanship of its ornate brass collar and lid.

The hinged top features a remarkable hand-painted miniature, nestled under glass depicting an elegant scene at the Louvre, complete with strolling figures and a central fountain. Surrounded by intricate star motifs and floral engravings, the lid is a jeweled crown atop a vessel of timeless charm.

Dating to circa 1850, the bottle retains its original hand-cut glass stopper, fitting snugly and securely. The lid opens and closes smoothly with a satisfying snap.

A near twin can be found in the famed Fragonard Perfume Museum in Grasse, France, making this piece not only beautiful but museum-worthy. Ideal for collectors, perfumistas, or those with a love for French decorative arts.
