Rare Early 18th c. Or 17th c. Silver Bottle Shaped Pomander with Chain
April 30, 2025







Rare Early 18th c. Silver Bottle Shaped Pomander with Chain. Early silver pomander, beautifully carved all over the bulbous bottom, with smooth neck decorated with carved “rings”. The scent holes are on the bottom. The cap is secured with a double rope chain. It is in great condition, with a small dent on the side of the bulb. The pomander measures just under 7 cm. High and under 3 cm. It weighs 23 grams. I don’t know the source of this piece – could be European, Persian or Middle Eastern. There are no hallmarks that I can find.
