Description

A collection of four small decorative and functional objects comprising a nautical brass box, two scent bottles, and a miniature brass shoe. The rectangular brass box is constructed with a hinged lid and features a centrally embossed anchor motif. The glass scent bottle is of a pointed, tapering form with diamond-cut decoration and is fitted with a silver-toned metal screw cap. A second miniature scent flacon or locket is heart-shaped, fashioned from yellow-toned metal with engraved foliate scrollwork to the front and a screw-top finial, suspended from a black twisted cord. The collection is completed by a decorative cast brass miniature shoe featuring ornate openwork scroll designs and a small blue glass evil eye charm attached to the toe. No maker marks or hallmarks are visible on any of the items.


Condition report:

All items show signs of age and use. The brass pieces exhibit an aged patina with surface tarnishing and minor scratches throughout. The glass scent bottle appears to be free of major chips or cracks, although the metal cap shows surface wear. The heart-shaped pendant displays minor surface wear to the engraving.
