J. Hoare Lay Down Perfume with Gorham Sterling Mount SOLD |
This is one of the nicest lay-down perfumes I’ve had the opportunity to offer. It was likely cut by J. Hoare as suggested by the pattern, shape, and silver.
A graduated square design covers two large fields on the upper and lower bout of this bottle. Most notable is an incredible swirled tusk motif featuring a round, convex tusk (one of the most difficult motifs to execute) divided by a sharp swirl cutting. The last portion of the of the bottom of the bottle is faceted like a bottle stopper. The silver mount is monogrammed.
The shape of the bottle is unique-not round, but oval so as to ovoid it rolling off of a dresser. The bottle is extremely long and measures 10″ long, 1 1/2″ wide and 3/4″ tall. It’s in perfect condition with not chips or staining. The size and cutting put this into a top tier cabinet piece.
