Historical and Collector Context

Henry Perkins & Sons was a London silver-mounting firm active during the early 20th century. The company produced a variety of silver-mounted decorative and practical objects, including vanity accessories and perfume-bottle tops.

Small scent and perfume bottles were popular dressing-table accessories during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Their combination of decorative glass and hallmarked silver made them both practical personal objects and attractive display pieces. This London 1923 example retains the charm of an authentic George V vanity accessory while remaining compact and easy to display.
