Vintage
Apollo Studio Jeweled Filigree Perfume Bottle
For
the vintage perfume bottle collectors out
there --- this piece is for you! This is
a wonderful brass filigree / ormolu tall
perfume bottle with lovely sparkling faceted
amethyst rhinestones. The piece was made
by the Apollo Studio of New York sometime
in the mid teens (1915 -1919). Apollo was
famous for their use of ornate filigree
to create their jeweled vanity pieces. This
bottle measures 8” tall – the
stopper being 2 ¼” in diameter
and the center of the bottle about 3”
in diameter. The piece is in very nice condition
showing normal wear for its age –
nothing really major --- I see a few minute
nicks in the metal on the foot and some
appropriate wear to the gilding. The amethyst
stones are all present and I see one very
minor nick on a corner to one of the center
4 stones – again nothing major in
the least, but worth mentioning just the
same – see photo. The perfume bottle
is signed on the bottom – “Apollo
“– see photos. A truly gorgeous
perfume bottle ready to grace milady’s
vanity. ID=OT13
