Vintage Roger & Gallet Paris Boxed Soap Set – Carnation & Sandalwood

A decorative vintage Roger & Gallet Paris boxed soap set, made in France and presented in a highly attractive gold card presentation box with ornate floral decoration.

The outer box is labelled:

Savon Ceillet-Mignardise
Carnation
Roger & Gallet Paris
3 Savons 150g
Total Net Wt 15.9 oz
Made in France

The reverse of the box is printed with Roger & Gallet details including 62, Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Paris and appointment wording to H.M. Queen Elizabeth II, Manufacturers of Soap.

Inside are three wrapped vintage Roger & Gallet soaps:

2 x Ceillet-Mignardise / Carnation soaps
1 x Bois de Santal / Sandalwood soap

Please note: the outer box states Ceillet-Mignardise / Carnation, but the centre soap is Bois de Santal / Sandalwood. It may be a historic mixed inclusion or later replacement, so the set is being sold honestly as a mixed vintage Roger & Gallet boxed soap set.

The soaps appear unused and retain their paper wrappers. Original Roger & Gallet tissue paper is also present.

The box has particularly strong display appeal, with a gold ground, floral carnation decoration and Art Nouveau / Belle Époque-style design. Ideal for a vintage vanity display, bathroom cabinet, dressing table, French toiletries collection, perfume display, shop display or Roger & Gallet collector.

Condition is good vintage overall, with age-related wear from storage and handling. The outer box shows scuffs, small dents, corner and edge wear, marks and staining/spotting to the underside. The internal soaps remain wrapped and appear unused, but due to age they are sold as collectable/display items rather than for modern cosmetic use.

Please see all photographs for the exact condition, contents and packaging.
