Offering a very rare Art Nouveau gilt sterling silver perfume bottle or flask by William Kerr, Newark, New Jersey. Created late 19th century. This amazing perfume is designed with full bodied mermaids, sea monsters, sea shells and ocean waves. Fabricated from gilded sterling silver in bulbous form with heavy base. In all my years of collecting Art Nouveau Fantasy genre sterling silver, I have never seen anything like this piece. The piece is finished on both side and the repousse workmanship is incredible. Monogrammed in fancy script. Measuring 5 1/4″ Tall, 4″ Wide, 2 1/2 Deep and Weighing a hefty 127.5 grams 4.49 oz. The condition is excellent. The only thing to mention is some denting to the lid and the lid’s edge. All other repousse work has been spared any damage. The gilding appears fresh and bright as when manufactured. The lid opens and closes properly with a twist. The original cork is present. Please see my other listings.
