A breathtaking example of Circa 1860s Victorian Europe Goldsmithing at its finest, this extraordinary chatelaine perfume bottle Was So Grand And Exquisite it was set in a museum-worthy Case in 1902 through the legendary S.J. Shrubsole Ltd. of London and New York — one of the most respected names in antique silver and jewelry Industry And The Popular Go To For Museums Requiring Custom Cases — this piece arrives in its fitted presentation box, a rare and significant detail that speaks to its exceptional preservation and provenance.
The Chatelaine Clip is a tour de force of repoussé and pierced metalwork, featuring a central cherub (putto) holding a cartouche inscribed "RICORDO" — Italian for "remembrance" or "keepsake" — framed within an elaborate oval surround of star-pierced latticework, scrolling acanthus leaves, and a floral crown. The reverse reveals equally refined open-work construction, confirming the extraordinary skill of its maker.
The Scent Bottle suspends from a fine link chain and is no less spectacular — a bulbous, pear-shaped vessel adorned with chased scrollwork cartouches, applied rose gold foliate mounts, and a winged angel figure draped across its shoulder. The bottle neck is engraved with a diamond motif and terminates in a decorative stopper. Claw feet anchor the base with characteristic Victorian drama.
The combination of sterling silver and 14k gold in a two-tone palette — with warm rose gold accents playing against the cool silver ground — is quintessentially Victorian in its love of material contrast and romantic symbolism.
