The "Book-Shaped Vinaigrette" is a small, gold-plated, hinged, book-shaped object created by Taylor & Perry between 1835-1836. This piece of jewelry is now part of the Art Institute of Chicago collection. The "Book-Shaped Vinaigrette" was designed to be worn on a chain and held a small piece of scented fabric. The design of the piece is highly detailed with a textured surface and a hinged spine. It is a beautiful example of miniature goldsmithing.
