Condition Report
The scent bottle appears in a tarnished state and would benefit from a clean and polish. General wear and numerous surface nicks, marks and scratches. Loss of surface detail to some areas of raised decoration. The hinged lid to the vinaigrette appears in working order but remains quite loose when in closed position. Some rubbing and slight distortion to hallmarks and part hallmarks but mostly legible. Also with impressed retailer's mark for W. Thornhill, 144 New Bond St and registration diamond.
