Vintage Perfume & Vanity items from 1900 to 1990s

ID# 1471 Vigny Golliwogg 2 oz Parfum sealed with ties Perfume is full and still sealed with its ties. Bottom of bottle is marked 70% alcohol. Today we classify anything less than 68% alcohol as parfum. This is from the 1920s. Label is in fine condition for being 100 years old. His hair feels like it might be mink. I would classify Golliwogg has a musk perfume and probably the best ever made. Le Golliwogg perfume is named after a character from children's stories of 19th century and the African culture, although today that inspiration and design can be considered very racist. It was launched in 1919 in France, and in 1925 in USA. available Price: $ 350 Item 1471 Get more details

ID# 1427 Violet (Veolay) Royal Lily Parfum in box Released in 1903 Maison Violet was established around 1810 in Paris and the business was originally known as "A la Reine des Abeilles." The shop was located at 317 rue St. Denis. Violet also had a laboratory located at La Plaine St. Denis in France, where they manufactured their perfumes and cosmetics, as well as other vanity items. They were known for their outstanding quality and became the suppliers to the English, Spanish, French and Russian Crowns. Violet maintained a luxury image throughout much of it's existence and won many prize medals at exhibitions: 1849, 1851, 1855, 1862, 1875 (Sydney, bronze medal), as well as the Grand Prix at the Exposition Universelle in both 1867 and 1900, where the Violet products as a whole were awarded the prize. This bottle shows the award won in 1900 and is evidence of its manufacture date. This sealed, vintage perfume bottle with its box is truly a marvel to behold its condition. A star in a special perfume collection. Outstanding! Bottle is embossed around the neck "A la Reine des Abeilles." The bottle is also embossed "Violet" and with a bee. The neck is wrapped with lamb skin sealing the bottle. The box has the original angel hair padding in fair condition. There is some minor wear and missing some of the gold foil around the bottom edge of the box. Small nick to the label on front of the box. Labels on the bottle and the box match perfectly and are in perfect condition other than the previous mentioned nick to the front label. The hinge and the ribbon on the box is in perfect condition. This would make an excellent gift for the perfume collector of early French Houses. available Price: $ 450 Item 1427 Get more details
