More Than Just Pretty Glass: A Look at the Collection What exactly are antique scent bottles? These aren’t your grandma’s dusting-shelf knick-knacks. These are tiny, often elaborate containers, used for holding perfume – or “scent” – centuries ago. Before modern spray bottles, folks relied on these charming vessels, often carried in purses, pockets, or attached to chatelaines (decorative belt hooks). BEW INVESTMENT LLC's collection spans a wide range of eras and styles. They've got bits and pieces from the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries, meaning a collector can snag something Georgian, Victorian, or even Art Nouveau. Each bottle isn't just a container; it's a miniature sculpture. "We've got everything from simple, utilitarian glass bottles to incredibly ornate pieces made from silver, enamel, and even precious stones," the spokesperson detailed. “You’ll find tiny lockets, bottles shaped like fruits, flowers, animals - even miniature books!” What Makes These Bottles So Special? It's not just the age that makes these items valuable. It's the craftsmanship. Before mass production, each bottle was largely handmade, often by skilled artisans. Materials like delicate blown glass, sterling silver, and finely carved ivory demonstrate a level of skill you rarely see today. "Think about the labor involved," explains a collector who has been working with BEW Investment. “Each bottle had to be individually crafted, decorated, and sealed. These were luxury items meant for the well-to-do, so the quality and detail are incredible." Beyond the materials, the stories behind the bottles add to their appeal. Bottles were often given as gifts, signifying affection or status. Some bottles bear monograms or crests, hinting at their original owners. Others reflect the fashions and trends of their time. “We’ve seen bottles associated with royalty, actresses, and other notable figures,” the spokesperson reveals. “It's exciting to think about who might have carried these bottles and the lives they led.” A Collector’s Market is Blooming Antique scent bottles have been gaining popularity with collectors in recent years. Several factors are driving this trend. Increased interest in antiques and vintage items, and growing awareness of the history and artistry involved, are all playing a part. “People are looking for something unique and meaningful,” explains an antique appraiser. “They’re tired of disposable, mass-produced items. These bottles offer a connection to the past and a sense of authenticity.” The market also offers various levels of entry. You can find relatively affordable bottles for under $100, perfect for beginners. But for serious collectors, rare and exceptional pieces can fetch thousands of dollars – sometimes even tens of thousands. BEW INVESTMENT LLC’s selection covers a wide price range, allowing collectors of all levels to find something to cherish.
