Victorian Silver Perfume / Scent Bottle made in 1897
A very fine Victorian silver perfume/scent bottle, having a hand-chased round-hinged lid with floral decoration.
The scent bottle is unusual as the silver goes all the way down the neck.
It still retains its original stopper and gilding to the interior of the lid.
The cut glass is beautifully hand worked and it is in very good condition.
This was made in the year of Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee, by John Grinsell and Sons.
Dimensions, height 13.5 cm.
Originally Grinsell & Bourne, the business took on this name in 1871 after the original partnership dissolved. They were manufacturing silversmiths based in Birmingham.
John Grinsell went into business with his four sons in 1871, and they had manufacturing workshops in Birmingham, as well as show rooms in Holborn Circus, London and in Glasgow. They made a range of silver-mounted glass and stoneware, including lock-up liquor frames, biscuit boxes, butter dishes, cups, cruet frames, flagons, and salad bowls.
They registered their trademark a “Cupid standing on a scroll” in 1879. Around 1905, they registered as a limited company under the name John Grinsell & Sons Ltd. They were later bought by Barker Ellis & Co. Ltd which finally went into administration in 1992.
