Lot Essay

There were three versions of the 'Cyclamen' scent bottle. The earliest version had 'Cyclamen, Coty, Paris' moulded on the stopper. The model illustrated above, with the plain stopper, dates from the 1920s and is signed without the 'R', while a third version was produced with a more slender neck and moulded stopper.
