Description

This French sapphire and diamond gold scent bottle is a miniature marvel of Belle Époque craftsmanship.

Made in the early 1900s, it combines an 18-carat yellow gold lid set with a rich 0.70 carat cabochon sapphire surrounded by a halo of old-cut diamonds, balanced beautifully atop a hand-cut spiral crystal body.

The clever hinged top conceals a fitted glass liner that ensures the bottle remains watertight without the need for a separate stopper - a discreet yet luxurious innovation.

Just over 6cm high, this piece feels both intimate and opulent in the hand, the kind of object designed to slip into a silk purse or be kept on a vanity tray for private rituals.

It’s the kind of detail that speaks quietly of wealth, style, and a life lived with beautiful things.

Available exclusively at ELTONS, Grays Antique Market, Mayfair, London.
