About the Item
Step into the elegant world of Art Nouveau with this stunning sterling silver overlay perfume bottle, a masterful fusion of intricate filigree craftsmanship and subtle opulence. Dating to the early 20th century, this piece embodies the movement’s signature organic motifs—flowing vines, delicate tendrils, and swirling arabesques—that evoke the graceful curves of nature’s most poetic forms. Perfect for collectors of fine vanity accessories, antique silver, or Art Nouveau collectors items, this bottle is not just a functional objet d’art but a conversation starter that whispers of bygone glamour.
Design and Craftsmanship Highlights:
• Form and Silhouette: The bottle features a classic pear-shaped flask design with a rounded, bulbous body that tapers elegantly to a slender neck, measuring approximately 4.5 inches (11.5 cm) in height and 2.5 inches (6.5 cm) at its widest point. Its compact size makes it ideal for a dressing table display or as a cherished heirloom.
• Sterling Silver Overlay: The entire surface is adorned with a lavish overlay of 925 sterling silver, meticulously hand-engraved in a lacy filigree pattern. Delicate scrollwork and vine-like motifs wrap around the body in asymmetrical waves, creating a sense of fluid movement and depth. The silver catches the light beautifully, casting intricate shadows that highlight the bottle’s three-dimensional texture.
• Glass Underlay: Beneath the silver overlay lies a finely cut glass vessel with a soft, iridescent sheen, adding a layer of translucency that allows subtle light play through the openwork design. The glass is in good antique condition (over 125 years old), with no chips.
• Stopper and Cap: The bottle is crowned with a matching sterling silver filigree stopper, featuring a faceted, orb-like finial that screws securely into place. A secondary glass dauber (intact and functional) is housed within the neck, ready for revival with your favorite scent. The stopper’s threading is smooth and precise, a testament to superior silversmithing.
Condition and Authenticity: In remarkable antique condition, this perfume bottle shows gentle patina on the silver—enhancing its vintage charm without detracting from its luster. No dents, losses to the overlay, or repairs. Hallmarks (including “STERLING” and maker’s marks) are faintly visible on the base, confirming its authenticity as American silver from circa 1900-1910. Weighing a substantial 3.2 ounces (90 grams), it feels substantial in hand, a hallmark of quality construction.
Versatility and Appeal: Whether displayed empty as a sculptural accent or refilled with a modern fragrance, this piece bridges antique allure with contemporary style. Its neutral silver tones pair seamlessly with Art Deco, Victorian, or minimalist aesthetics, making it a versatile addition to any collection. Ideal for gifting to a history buff, a perfume aficionado, or as a self-indulgent treat—imagine it on your vanity, evoking the sophistication of a Parisian salon.
