Mother-of-Pearl Shell Scent Bottle with Silver Mounts & Carnelian Cabochon
Beautiful antique mother-of-pearl shell scent bottle, hand-mounted in silver and crowned with a glowing carnelian cabochon. The natural shell body shimmers with soft iridescence, while a twisted rope-wire silver bezel frames the warm orange stone at its heart.
At the pointed tip, a delicate applied silver flower-and-leaf mount adds a romantic finishing flourish, and a small hinged silver cap at the narrow end opens to the vessel within - a lovely nod to the antique chatelaine bottles once carried for scent or snuff.
A truly eye-catching treasure for a vanity, curio shelf, or collection of antique adornments, blending the luster of the sea with the romance of old-world silverwork.
