Perfume bottle (one of six) (part of a set) 1728 - 1730

This pair of perfume bottles, designed by Louis Mailly in the early 18th century, exemplifies the exquisite craftsmanship of French glassmaking. The clear glass bottles are delicately faceted and adorned with ornate silver-gilt caps, showcasing the elegant taste of the Rococo era. The bottles, part of a larger set of six, were likely commissioned by a wealthy patron, highlighting the importance of personal hygiene and self-expression in 18th century society.
