A truly brilliant and luxurious collection, this antique Edwardian English sterling silver and cut crystal scent bottle and jar set … Read more A truly brilliant and luxurious collection, this antique Edwardian English sterling silver and cut crystal scent bottle and jar set is a masterclass in early 20th-century elegance. Dating from circa 1905–1907, each piece features exquisitely cut crystal with fluted sides and panels of classic diamond-pattern hobnail, beautifully catching and refracting the light, with sharp crisp edges.

The sterling silver lids, hallmarked by Cooper Brothers & Sons, are richly detailed with an intricate engine-turned pattern and a central, intertwined monogram “DG”. Subtle yellowing in areas of the silver hints at their original gold gilt finish, a testament to the set’s high expense and luxurious status when new, the soft patina adding to its character and history. Each piece has a wonderful cut starburst pattern on the bottom. This substantial, eye-catching set would have originally graced a gentleman’s vanity.
