A very rare and excellent example of the work of the famous and high quality Victorian manufacturer Sampson Mordan & Co.

A combined Silver Gilt Perfume Bottle and Smelling Salts Bottle in the form of a beautifully decorated pair of enameled Opera Glasses. The bottom of each bottle set with a round mirror. The neck of the Smelling Salts Bottle signed "S.Mordan Makers". The same bottle printed with a Victorian Registration mark for March 1879.

The magnificent enameling,combining gilding and raised Jewelling has been carried out to the highest standards as one would expect with such a high quality manufacturer.

There is some distressing of the Silver Gilt bottle tops but this does not detract from the beauty of this delightful piece.
