Description
Gasoline bottle of the Louis XIV period. Rare blown glass bottle entirely covered with paper and decorated on the front of a label bearing a handwritten inscription in pen mentioning the essence contained: "Bergamotte" and the weight of the contents "Net 16 * 5gr". We can also distinguish a flowery circle surmounted by a sun, emblem of Louis XIV, the Sun King. Work of the eighteenth century, Louis XIV period. Height: 16cm (As is) This bottle comes from a set of 400, discovered at the Furet du Nord in Lille in the 1990s. Among them are bottles of essences, mainly Bergamot. The essential oil of Bergamot was the cologne of the classical centuries, which the gallants loved. At the time, people washed little and perfumed a lot.
