Item History & Price
HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE RARE AMOUR AMERICAIN FRENCH PERFUME BOTTLE BY GABILLA 1920 RARE BLACK GLASS WITH BRILLIANTLY ENAMELED GOLD FLOWERSJULIEN VIARD Perfume Bottle with AMOUR AMERICAIN (American Love) - RARE French Perfume Launched in 1920 by Gabilla (Les Parfumeries de Gabilla) in Sealed Bottle. This is the black glass round bottle with molded and gilded floral decoration around the middle and famous 'Gold Raspberry Top', used as a model for the Lanvin ball shaped Fa...lcons ('My Sin' Perfume in 1923).*Does not appear that that seal has been intentionally broken but I can not determine if any perfume has been lost due to evaporation. When you shake the bottle there is definitely some air inside. Part of the string seal (under the lip) has deteriorated away. The very top of the stopper has some gold loss. Bottle measures 3.3" tall and 2" wide. Bottom has a number etched into it. Bottle (with contents) and stopper only - does not include original box.Price Reference: Monsen & Baer, Inc, "The World of Perfume: Perfume Bottle Auction XV" of April 29, 2005, page 82, Lot #294.
