A refined French double perfume bottle set comprising two clear faceted glass bottles with matching faceted crystal stoppers, each fitted with gilt brass collars and housed within an ornate gilt brass architectural holder. The bottles are square in form with softly chamfered edges, designed to sit securely within the openwork gallery base.
The gilt holder features repeating arched motifs and decorative pierced panels in the Louis XVI revival taste, with a scalloped upper edge and stepped base. The brass exhibits a warm, mellow gilt surface with natural age toning and wear, consistent with late 19th / early 20th-century French production.
Each bottle retains its original faceted crystal stopper, finely cut to reflect light and fitted with gilt collars that show dotted detailing around the circumference. The holder is stamped “FRANCE” on the underside, indicating French manufacture for export.
The set balances architectural formality with functional elegance and would have been intended for a vanity, dressing table, or toilette ensemble.

Double perfume bottle sets of this type emerged during the late 19th and early 20th centuries as part of the French luxury vanity tradition. While inspired by earlier Louis XVI and Second Empire designs, early 20th-century examples often combined classical ornament with more standardized glass production, allowing for elegant yet practical objects suited to modern domestic interiors.
Such sets were commonly produced for the export market and sold through Parisian retailers specializing in luxury toilette accessories. The architectural pierced gallery reflects the continued popularity of neoclassical motifs during the Belle Époque and interwar periods.
