A fine and impressive antique Victorian English sterling silver scent flask; an addition to our ornamental silverware collection

This fine antique Victorian sterling silver scent flask has a circular, moon flask form.

The surface of the flask is embellished with fine embossed scrolling leaf ornamentation accented with floral motifs and geometric trellis designs.

This impressive example of antique silverware is fitted with a silver long box chain, conjoining with a hallmarked ring loop terminal.

The scent flask retains the original plain compressed circular screw fit cover.

This antique scent flask is a very good gauge of silver, very good quality and in exceptional condition.

The embossed decoration is sharp.

Full hallmarks struck to the underside of the silver scent flask are all very clear; the first portion of maker's mark has wear, but remains legible.

The lion passant to the ring loop is very clear, in keeping with age and location.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this piece of antique Victorian silverware.
