https://www.decorativecollective.com/dealers/tinker-toadA lovely example of a mid-19th century French Grand Tour perfume caddy.
This gold-on-black hand-painted porcelain casket features a domed lid with a central hand-painted portrait of a lady. The lid and sides are adorned with a pretty floral design, and it stands on gilt brass feet.
Internally, there is a gilt metal bottle cage holding two colored glass scent bottles, both with their original stoppers intact. The circular lids are hand-painted with Parisian scenes.
In good condition for its age, with no losses except for the small clasp at the front.
