Up for sale is an exquisite 6-piece antique French vanity/perfume set. Crafted from heavy, high-clarity lead crystal, each piece features a classic diamond-cut (diamant) pattern that reflects light beautifully. The rims are accented with hand-painted gold-gilt (Gros Or) banding, a hallmark of luxury European glass houses.
The Set Includes:
• (4) Graduated Perfume/Scent Bottles: Each with original hand-cut faceted stoppers.
• (1) Crystal Atomizer: Featuring a vintage brass/gold-tone hardware mount and original mesh-covered bulb.
• (1) Large Powder or Trinket Jar: With a matching gold-rimmed lid.
Authenticity & Craftsmanship:
These pieces feature hand-painted matching numbers on the undersides (e.g., "36", "21"). In antique French crystal production, this indicates that the stoppers were custom-ground to fit their specific bottles for an airtight seal. This level of detail is typical of prestigious makers like Baccarat or Saint Louis (pre-1936 pieces were often unsigned but numbered)
The bulb for the atomizer is hardened due to age and does not work, it was also glued back on. Some fading to the gold due to age.
