Scent Bottle - Cylindrical, Double-Ended with Engraved Birds - London 1880 by Sampson Mordan - 10.6cm long - ZF/2667

Sorry, this item is out of stock.

This very beautiful Victorian silver scent bottle was made by the much sought after Samson Mordan and decorated in the Aesthetic style. The phial is cylindrical in form with an inner glass core. There is a corked removable cap with screw thread to one end and a sprung hinged cover to the other, enabling the user to have two different perfumes. The engraving is very charming and depicts a sedge of herons in courtship dance amongst bulrushes and butterflies. It is in excellent, crisp condition throughout.
