Antique French Napoleon III Era Scent Caddy / Perfume Box, dating back to the mid-to-late 19th century (circa 1860–1880).The set contains three beautiful rectangular, bevel-edged Baccarat cut crystal scent bottles housed perfectly inside a fitted wood marquetry case lined with vibrant silk.
Key Details & Characteristics
The Crystals: These early Baccarat bottles are famous for their hand-painted gold star pattern and gilt trim. Because they predate 1936, they will not have an acid-etched logo—Baccarat used paper labels during this period that almost always washed away over time.The Stoppers: The heavy dore bronze or gilt-finished spherical ball stoppers are iconic to luxury French vanity sets from this era.
The Casket: The box features exceptional wood marquetry/parquetry and brass detailing, complete with a working lock mechanism and original skeleton key.
The name Suzanne is engraved on top.
