Pair of bottles • Engraved crystal & Silver • England 1916

• Charming pair of perfume bottles of British origin, dating from 1916 (George V era). • The two bottles form a true matching pair with strictly identical hand-cut and engraved decoration: an upper frieze and a delicate neoclassical design featuring tied ribbons and floral garlands. • The domed lids and the neck ring are made of English sterling silver (Sterling 925/1000). • Complete official hallmarks: Silversmith: W & F Rabone (hallmark W&FR), active in Birmingham between 1911 and 1918. Standard: Lion passant (solid silver 925). City: Anchor (Birmingham assay office, visible on the neck ring of the small bottle). Year: Letter "r" corresponding to the year 1916-1917. • Crystal: No chips, no cracks, and no opacity. Both original small inner crystal stoppers are present and in impeccable condition. • Silver: Original antique patina. The neck ring of the large bottle is missing (the silver lid fits perfectly on the neck). • Condition: Very good overall condition for these century-old pieces. Note on the large bottle: absence of the silver neck ring + micro chips on the neck and slight dent on the stopper. • Dimensions: Large bottle: Height 14 cm - Diameter 11.5 cm. Small bottle: Height 11 cm - Diameter 8.5 cm. • Very careful packaging. Shipping is done with responsible packaging made from natural, recycled, or reused materials.
