D'Orsay Store Perfume Tester by R. Lalique ~R
(Item: LALIQUE PERFUME)
From a local estate, pleased to offer
this Very Special Five Section Glass Store rectangular Perfume Tester
for D'ORSAY PERFUME and made by R. LALIQUE, circa 1920's. 8 7/8
inches long, 2 1/8 inches wide and 1 3/8 inches tall. "D'ORSAY" molded
into the front and barely marked in the mold "R. LALIQUE", front left
corner, on top. Each of the Stopper tops are flowers and are
marked with different perfumes and "D'orsay" in the flower. Each
dauber is also numbered, 1 to 5, and this is indeed a complete
set. Prominently pictured on page 66 of "LALIQUE PERFUME
BOTTLES" by Mary Lou & Glenn Utt...as pictured..., the authors
state "...the only such multicompartment perfume receptacle known to
have been designed by Lalique". Also noted: "The rectangular
tester base has an Epines (Thorns) style motif all over except on its
stopper tops, which are molded with flower heads. D'Orsay is
molded on the front of the base, and each stopper, which was named and
numbered at its center, terminated in a little dauber, which allowed
madame to sample the scent in the shop ;where the tester was
displayed." Utt's book will be included with the Perfume. Condition: very slight interior stain from perfume;
small chip, as pictured, at center (#3) hole (covered by stopper); and,
two tiny, chips, lower right front corner (one on top of the clear
corner and one on the bottom....these are to small to clearly
photograph. The stoppers and daubers are without visible chips or
cracks and are numbered 1-5; the most minor wear scratches on the
bottom....must hold to proper light to see. We can find no other
problems.
