Boite à senteurs, also known as vinaigrette.
Octagonal in shape, it is made of 18-carat gold.
It features a four-lobed guilloché decoration.
The edges are chased with leafy arabesques in brilliant gold on an amati background.
It opens onto a grid entirely pierced with foliage.
Hallmarks of Paris 1809-1819 and master goldsmith "E.P".
Weight: 22.5 g
Dimensions: 3.2 cm x 2.5 cm x 1.2 cm



The vinaigrette is a scented box, taking its name from the aromatic vinegar soaked in a small sponge concealed beneath its grid, to revive elegant ladies prone to vapors. In vogue in the 18th century, this object of charm was also in vogue in the 19th, as the corset compressed waists more than ever, to the point of cutting off breathing. Always at hand for high-society women, it had to be both discreet and as elegant as a piece of jewelry. While its most expected form is that of a box or small bottle, the beautiful accessory bends to every whim.
It also houses perfumed essences to satisfy the coquettish desires of the ladies.
