An absolutely over the top victorian scent bottle. This scent bottle is in the form of a barrel. It was designed and crafted in Vienna, Austria in the 1880's. The barrel is crafted from solid 800/900 silver with hand painted enamel work. All aspects of the barrel are decorated. A winged angel on one side in a red dress and a blue one on the opposing side. The edges of the barrel are then further decorated with ivy leaves. The middle of the barrel is decorated in a beautiful floral motif. Each end of the barrel features a lady in waiting and a man on the opposing side. The stopper is a silver eagle. The chasn are original with a spring bolt clasp which has lost it push pin to open. This beautiful bottle and the enamel hand painting is in excellent condition with minor use. I see no indentation or repairs, cracks, or indication of damage, just light scratches from use, but very very minor. There are no hallmarks noted.
