VICTORIAN SOLID SILVER DOUBLE SCENT BOTTLE BY SAMPSON MORDAN, LONDON 1891

Victorian

Solid Silver

A good Victorian solid silver double ended scent bottle, fully hallmarked in London in 1891 with the makers mark S M & Co for Sampson Mordan & Co. Very nice quality from one of the best silversmiths who specialised in small and collectible silver items. This one is very good with hand chased decoration, vacant cartouche each end, screw end one end with no gap, and the hinged lid at the other end closes good with very little gap. But, one end of the inner glass bottles is missing, presumably smashed and gone, so needs a new one. Very good otherwise except a shallow mark/dent, picture 14. The length is 105mm and diameter 18mm, and weighs 30.3gms or 40.8gms including half a scent !
