Antique French Sterling Silver & Blue Glass Chatelaine Perfume Flask Pendant (c.1900s)

RARE FIND! – Antique French Sterling Silver & Blue Glass Chatelaine Perfume Flask Pendant (c.1900s).

This charming little treasure is a true piece of Belle Époque history! Dating back to the early 1900s, this antique French perfume flask pendant was once worn suspended from a chatelaine, chain, or watch fob as a fashionable way to carry a personal scent.

The piece is beautifully crafted from opaque sky-blue glass, formed in a rounded orb shape that fits neatly in the palm. The vibrant color was popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, evoking both elegance and a touch of the exotic. Capped with a sterling silver threaded lid, hallmarked to confirm its French origin, the flask still retains its original hinge and loop fitting, making it wearable today as a unique pendant or charm.

NOTE : I cant get the lid open, but inside there remains a trace of the bottle’s past life—some fine white powder residue, likely remnants of old perfume solidified over time. A fascinating reminder of its function, offered at no extra charge! 

Perfume flasks of this type were highly fashionable accessories among well-to-do women in Europe around 1900. They reflected both social status and refinement, allowing the wearer to freshen up discreetly during outings. Collectors today prize them for their rare combination of artistry, functionality, and history.
