HUGE APPOLO GOLD JEWELS ROCOCO PERFUME BOTTLE
METAL FILIGREE SAPPHIRE FACET JEWELS BARQOUE

This is a gorgeous old 1800's brass and cut faceted crystal "sapphire jewels" prong set into the filigree metal of the perfume bottle, made for the boudoir of a lovely Victorian lady so many years ago. It lanquished in a closet of an old antebellum Southern Mansion here in Galveston, until one day we went to an estate sale there and went digging in the closet. It is in lovely antique condition. MEASUREMENTS APPROXIMATELY: with top in bottle 8 inches tall, main body 3 inches in diameter, top with dauber 5 inches, circle of dauber 2.5 inches. Even the is a slender glass dauber is intacthave survived over a hundred years and is complete and without damage as have the sapphire crystal jewels. There are not any markings that I can see but I have another like this that is marked APPOLO.

The bottle itself is covered in a fancy baroque rococo almost Italianate filigree meatal work that appears to have been made of brass and chased with a gold wash or plate. This is so much more beautiful that the photos. Perfect for collectors of commercial perfumes bottles, Victorian or Edwardian items, vanity collectibles or someone who just loves beautiful works of art. ID=CZ34
