Today, the listing is. THIS WONDERFUL MINIATURE MINI, VINTAGE SCHIAPARELI, 1/2 OZ? PARFUM BOTTLE CIRCA 1940. A RARE PIECE, THE SCHIAPARELLI BOTTLE ARE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER ESPECIALLY THOSE SHAPED LIKE A CANDLESTICK. THEY HOUSED THE SCENT CALLED “SLEEPING” AND WERE DESIGNED BY BACCARAT. WHEN YOU UNSCREW THE CANDLE FLAME, THE TOP IS STILL SEALED, BUT THE PARFUM HAS EVAPORATED OVER ALL THESE 84 YEARS, BUT TRACES OF THE PARFUM IS STILL IN BOTTLE ALONG WITH THE WONDERFUL FRAGRANCE. THE BOTTLE IS IN FABULOUS VINTAGE CONDITION WITH NO CHIPS OR FRACTURES TO FOUND. MARKED SCHIAPARELLI ON THE BOTTOM. THE PIECE MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 3 1/4″ HIGH X 1 1/2″ WIDE. PLEASE SEE ALL PICTURES! IT IS ALWAYS A PLEASURE BRINGING YOU GREAT TREASURES THAT I HAVE FOUND EITHER IN AUCTIONS OR PRIVATE ESTATES. BECAUSE MOST OF MY ITEMS ARE OVER 100 YEARS OLD, EXPECT TO SEE SOME AGE-RELATED WEAR OR A LITTLE IMPERFECTION HERE AND THERE ESPECIALLY ON LACE OR FABRIC. NOTHING MORE THAN YOU WOULD EXPECT TO SEE AND ACTUALLY WANT TO SEE TO CONFIRM AGE. SOMETIMES WHAT I MIGHT THINK IS NOTHING, YOU MAY NOT AGREE. MY ITEMS MAY BE A LITTLE ECLECTIC BUT THEY HAVE A SPECIAL MEANING AND BRING ME JOY AND I HOPE THEY WILL YOU ALSO. SO, PLEASE LOOK AT ALL THE PICTURES AND USE THE MAGNIFICATION TO REALLY SEE AND APPRECIATE THE CONDITION AND HOW WONDERFUL IT TRULY IS. THAT’S ALL FOR NOW….
