<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RedHillRascal, post: 9425153, member: 68394&quot;]Hi all,</p><p><br /></p><p>This set of two perfume bottles and case were given to me by a friend. I have no information on them, other than they supposedly could date to the 1820s, but no earlier than 1810 because the Vendome Column, which appears on one of the bottles, was not completed until 1810. No makers marks anywhere. They are probably French.</p><p><br /></p><p>The caps on each of the perfume bottles have hand-painted miniature scenes, one of a Neoclassical looking building, and the other of the Vendome Column in Paris. Both the bottle caps and the rim of the case are gold.</p><p><br /></p><p>Would anyone be able to help me track down a maker or a more definite date for this piece? Perhaps what the miniature painting of the columned building on the bottle depicts?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]433784[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]433785[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]433786[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]433787[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]433788[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]433789[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]433790[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]433791[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]433792[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
