  • Sobre arte

    Victorian, circa 1860, a French 18K gold perfume bottle cased in an openwork gold lattice, each junction set with a cabochon turquoise. A hinged turban cap lends an Ottoman inspired accent, in step with the Orientalist taste fashionable in Paris, inpainting, dress, and the decorative arts, including the harem scenes of Ingres and Delacroix. Turquoise was named for its Turkish route into Europe, a link that suits the turban form rather well. The perfume aperture retains its removable gold applicator stopper for discreet dabbing behind the ears, an oddly intimate object that still suggests scent, skin, and a private ritual.

    Style
    Victorian era, with an Ottoman inspired, Orientalist taste. Mid nineteenth century France embraced ‘turquerie’ and other historicist revivals. In jewellery this often appears as exoticised forms, rich surface pattern, and a deliberate play with foreigndress and courtly objects.

    Style specifics
    The Romantic Victorian period (about 1837 to 1860). Many experts divide the reign of Queen Victoria (1837 to 1901) into three broad phases: an early or Romantic period, a mid period sometimes called Grand Victorian, and a late or Aesthetic phase.We consider this piece to belong to the late Romantic Victorian years, close to the transition around 1860. Jewellery of this phase often combines sentimental motifs with historicising and exotic tastes, and favours rich surface work such as finechasing, engraving, and occasional enamel. Turquoise was a popular accent, alongside stones such as coral, garnet, amethyst, and seed pearls.
