Beautiful French Viniagrette, modelled from 18 carat gold as an Urn, complete with tiny griffon handles, the body of the Urn chased with scrolls and flowers.
The urn lid is hinged and lifts open with a satisfying click to reveal the floral pierced lid (also hinged) through which a lady can inhale the scented sponge within (now empty)
The handles hold a fine gold chain, secured at the top with a gold ring that can be hung from a gold chain.
Finished in a beautiful mercury gild.
