Restoration period work

The vinaigrette is a scent box, taking its name from the aromatic vinegar soaking a small sponge hidden under its grid, in order to revive elegant ladies prone to vapors. In vogue in the 18th century, this charming object was also in vogue in the 19th century, the corset compressing waistlines more than ever, to the point of cutting off breathing. Always within reach of high society women, it must be both discreet and elegant like a jewel. If its most anticipated form is that of the box or the small bottle, the beautiful accessory bends to all fantasies.
Subtle scented essences are gradually replacing vinegars to perfume the atmosphere of social evenings.
