Sèvres Porcelain Scent Bottles in Original Ormolu-Mounted Casket, dated 1765

Fine Louis XV period perfume or toilet casket in veneered wood with gilt-bronze mounts, fitted with two pink-ground Sèvres porcelain scent bottles painted with cherubs and floral reserves, the lid and front inset with matching porcelain plaques in rocaille mounts. The underside marks and style are consistent with Sèvres porcelain of 1765: Sèvres used the interlaced L factory mark with a date letter, and the date letter M corresponds to 1765; 18th-century Sèvres marks of this type were typically painted in blue and date letters were in obligatory use from 1753 onward.

The pink ground is commonly referred to as Rose Pompadour. From the photos, the blue underglaze interlaced mark appears consistent with Sèvres, while the impressed numerals such as 25 and 3 are likely workshop or matching marks.

Condition:
Good overall antique condition to the casket with age wear, minor rubbing, and surface wear to mounts and veneer. One bottle has cracks to the neck/rim area. General wear and minor kiln/manufacturing irregularities consistent with period porcelain.

Dimensions of casket: 19 × 28 × 14.5 cm

Notes on marks:
Interlaced L factory mark in blue: consistent with Sèvres.
Date letter M: consistent with 1765.
Impressed numerals on stoppers/base: likely factory or assembly marks.

Starting price: 2000€
Estimate: 2500-3000€
