Antique French Handblown Glass Cologne Bottle with Gilded HeartsWonderful, mid 19th century cologne bottle made of handblown glass gilded on all sides. I especially love the hearts! The bottle retains its original stopper and is in very good condition save for some rubbing wear to the gilding, a typical sign of handling over the decades.

Measures about 9” at widest and 9” tall

handles like branches

Blue publisher’s cloth binding with several black & white illustrations throughout

I have also seen it in the UK

The Victorians ADORED color

It is pure Aesthetic movement extravagance

Gorgeous antique silver plated hand mirror with an art nouveau figure of a woman with snake-like tendrils of hair & poppy blossoms

and a slightly shaky spine

rather boring

but there is still some of the original incense inside

I would leave it as is

The horseshoe shaped wreath inside is in excellent condition with no crushed or loose flowers and measures about 12” wide
