132/11: A fabulous quality mid-19th century walnut lady's scent-bottle casket, which is beautifully veneered in finely-figured burr walnut and mounted with engraved and gilded mounts with the engraved and gilt handle on top. The lid opens to reveal the velvet and water-silk lined interior and the set of three original scent bottles, all with their original engraved silver-plated tops. A stunning box and in remarkably good condition. c.1875
