Description:
Emile Galle. a fine and rare enamelled glass scent bottle, with sterling silver top, the multi-coloured enamel with deep cameo cutting depicting a medieval princess holding a harp outlined in a pink and ecru enamel boarder in Galle's Syrian style. Signed in lower case, the only style of this signature known. the sterling silver top with hallmarks for London 1885 by Sampson Mordon. Note: Given the quality of the enamel work, the medieval design and the rarity of this style of signature, it is likely that scent bottle was worked on by Galle himself. Provenance: Private Collection Waikato. the scent bottle and signature authenticated by Christies London in November 2011
