Description Antique French Baccarat crystal perfume box. Richly decorated on the lid, base and sides, with a cut pattern of diamonds and hobnail buttons. The pattern referred to as Diamants Pierreries, Pontarlier. The Pontarlier pattern is a top quality cut crystal production identified in the Baccarat 1916 catalogue. The box is finished in bronze mounts comprising of two loop ring handles at either side and centered by a rosette escutcheon, resting on ball footed base. The hinged lid opening to reveal a removable caddy tray housing 6 perfume bottles. Each lovely perfume bottle with a hinged lid with conical top, each retaining their original glass stoppers. The stoppers are numbered to correspond to matching numbers on the base of the bottles, indicating they are original. Polished pontils to the bases. 5 of the 6 bottles still retain their original early Baccarat paper labels used from 1860 (which often times got lost, removed or washed away). From 1860, Baccarat began marking their pieces with a paper label. In 1936, Baccarat replaced the traditional paper labels with an acid-etched logo. Box measures 6 3/8″ length x 4 3/4″ deep x 5″ height. The bottles measure 3 1/8″ height x 1 3/8″ square. In overall good antique condition, lacking a key. There are some nicks hidden among the intricate cut pattern on the box. One bottle with a chip to the corner base, another with a clam chip to the corner, as shown in the close-ups.
