Fragrance Set, 18th Century, Asian-style Decor, Perfume Bottles, Solid Silver

An 18th-century toiletries set, made of red-lacquered wood and decorated with gold and black chinoiserie motifs, still containing its four glass bottles with solid silver stoppers and several toiletries accessories.

The lid of this box features a lively scene of Chinese figures set against a landscape of pavilions, trees, rocks, and vegetation.
The sides and front are also adorned with landscapes and flowering branches, rendered in gold and black on a red lacquer background.

The interior is lined with an antique pale green fabric and fitted with compartments designed to hold four faceted glass bottles, each with its solid silver stopper.

The set comes with its small toiletries, notably a small bowl with a fluted rim and a small funnel.

This set reflects the taste for chinoiserie and Far Eastern-inspired objects that developed in Europe during the 18th century, particularly in the decorative arts and toiletries.

Dimensions: 11.5 × 12.8 cm.

Height: 9.2 cm.

The case shows signs of wear and has some chips in the lacquer.
One of the stoppers is damaged.
