Based right here in Washington State (4605 Lake Washington Blvd NE Unit 301, Kirkland, WA, 98033-7617), they’ve carved a niche in identifying and offering truly special antiques.

You can reach them at 310-745-5319. “We saw a gap in the market,” explains a representative from BEW INVESTMENT. “Everyone is obsessed with the scent of perfume, but nobody really pays attention to how that scent is presented anymore. These bottles aren’t just containers; they’re miniature works of art. They tell a story. They’re a little piece of history.” More Than Just Pretty Bottles Antique scent bottles date back centuries, evolving from simple glass containers to incredibly intricate pieces crafted from glass, porcelain, silver, gold, and even precious stones. They were the luxury accessory for the well-to-do, especially during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. “Think about it,” the BEW INVESTMENT representative continues. “Back then, perfume wasn’t mass-produced and readily available like it is today. It was a precious commodity, and the bottle it came in was just as important. People didn't just buy a scent, they bought an experience, a status symbol." BEW INVESTMENT’s collection isn’t limited to a single style or era. They boast a diverse range, including: Victorian Era Glass Bottles (1837-1901): Often featuring intricate floral patterns, embossed designs, or cut glass detailing. These were a staple of Victorian dressing tables. “We're seeing a huge resurgence of interest in Victorian aesthetics,” says BEW INVESTMENT. “People are loving the romance and detail.” Art Nouveau Bottles (1890-1910): Characterized by flowing, organic lines, often depicting flowers, insects, and other natural motifs. These bottles are particularly sought after by collectors for their artistic merit. “These really show off the craftsmanship of the era. The detail is incredible,” they add. Art Deco Bottles (1920s-1930s): Known for their geometric shapes, streamlined designs, and use of bold colors. These bottles reflect the glamour and modernity of the Roaring Twenties. “These have a real ‘Great Gatsby’ feel to them,” notes BEW INVESTMENT. Silver & Gold Bottles: Often hallmarked and reflecting the wealth and status of the original owner. These are rarer and often command higher prices. Continental European Bottles: Featuring delicate porcelain and hand-painted designs, often from France, Austria, and Bohemia. Why the Sudden Interest? So why are antique scent bottles gaining popularity now? BEW INVESTMENT points to a few key factors. “There's a growing trend towards mindful consumption and a rejection of fast fashion and mass-produced goods,” explains the representative. “People are looking for items with a history, a story, something unique. They want things that are built to last, that have character. These bottles definitely fit that bill.” Another factor is the rise of vintage and antique collecting as a hobby. Social media platforms like Instagram and Pinterest are fueling the demand for unique and beautiful objects. “People are showcasing their collections online, and antique scent bottles are definitely a popular item to share. They’re visually stunning.” Finally, BEW INVESTMENT believes that there's a certain romantic appeal to owning a piece of history. “Imagine holding a bottle that was once held by someone over a hundred years ago. It’s a connection to the past. It's like owning a little piece of art and history at the same time.” More Than Just Collectibles – Functional Art While many collectors display antique scent bottles as decorative objects, BEW INVESTMENT also points out that they can still be used for their original purpose. “You can absolutely fill these with perfume or essential oils. They’re glass, so they’re perfectly safe. It’s a lovely way to add a touch of vintage glamour to your dressing table.” However, they caution buyers to be careful when handling delicate pieces. “These are antiques, so they’re fragile. Handle them with care and avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.” What to Look For When Buying For those interested in starting their own antique scent bottle collection, BEW INVESTMENT offers a few tips. Condition: “Look for bottles that are in good condition, with no cracks or chips. Minor wear and tear is acceptable, as it adds to the character of the piece.” Rarity: “Rarer bottles, such as those made from silver or gold, or those with unusual designs, will generally be more valuable.” Provenance: “If possible, try to find out the history of the bottle. Knowing where it came from and who owned it can add to its value and appeal.” Authenticity: “Be careful of reproductions. Look for hallmarks, maker’s marks, and other signs of authenticity.” Where to Find BEW INVESTMENT’s Collection BEW INVESTMENT LLC offers its collection of antique scent bottles through various online platforms, including their website (details available upon request) and select antique marketplaces.
