Pair Of 19th Century Porcelain Perfume Bottles By Jacob Petit Paris

A beautiful pair of Jacob Petit Paris porcelain perfume/scent bottles, Louis Philippe I, circa 1840, of cushion form, with swan corners and pad feet. Beautifully painted and gilded with flowers and scrolls, the gilded sides tooled with vines below a reticulated border. Each with large gilded stoppers. Unmarked.

Measurements:
Height: 14.7cm
Width: 14.7cm
Depth: 14.7cm

Condition: Expertly restored to near-original condition. We have never seen these without restoration to the swan corners and although examination under ultraviolet light does not show restoration, it must be assumed that one or more of the swans has been restored. There is some light wear to the gilding to the top of the stoppers.

Notes: Although these are unmarked, other examples with the same swan corners have been marked for Jacob Petit. His extravagant style is so distinctive that there is no doubt these are examples of his work. Jacob Petit (born Jacob Mardochée) was a French porcelain manufacturer in the 19th century, renowned for the diverse originality of his production. His work is highly sought after today for its originality and richness of decoration.
