About the Item

This exquisite Aesthetic Movement sterling silver scent flask, crafted by the renowned American silversmith firm Whiting circa 1880, is a sublime example of both innovative design and extraordinary craftsmanship. Shaped in a distinctive ball form, this piece embodies the era's emphasis on blending functionality with artistic beauty. The flask feautres hand-hammered texturing devoid of additional detail and stunningly minimal and refined. The spherical design reflects an appreciation for geometric purity and creativity in form, distinguishing this piece as a remarkable work of late 19th-century artistry. The removable stopper, seamlessly integrated into the design and screwing on and off in a smooth and snug manner, ensures the functionality of the flask while maintaining its artistic integrity. Signed by Whiting, a hallmark of quality, this scent flask is both a practical personal accessory and a decorative object of exceptional beauty. Perfect for collectors of antique silver or Aesthetic Movement objects, this scent flask is a lovely example of how art and utility were harmoniously united in the decorative arts of the late Victorian period. It would make a captivating addition to any collection or serve as a cherished heirloom gift. Weighs a total of 108 grams. Signed on the undersurface denoting the maker. In Excellent Vintage Condition. American, Circa 1880
