The enamel work on this scent-bottle bears strong resemblance to the one fitted with a later seal in the Wallace Collection (C. Truman, The Wallace Collection, Catalogue of Gold Boxes, London, 2013, no. 93, p. 317). Although the enamels on this scent bottle must have been inspired by those decorating gold boxes and watches from early 18th century Paris, the absence of a hallmark means it cannot possibly be French, furthermore, this type of decoration is similar to that of English watches and chatelaines of that period.
