Victorian Sterling Silver Gilt Double Ended Hinged Binocular Scent Bottle & Vinaigrette c.1870

Victorian combination scent bottle & vinaigrette. It has a pair of clear faceted glass bottles, with a sterling silver gilt hinged "binocular" centre section incorporating the vinaigrette with pierced hinged grill, and sterling silver gilt caps - a cork sealed screw-fit cap at one end, and a sprung glass sealed hinged cap with a button release at the other. The caps have rock crystal mounts with reverse painted initials. Comes in it's original dark blue velvet pouch. No hallmarks, which was not unusual at the time, but has been chemically tested as silver. Both the scent bottle and pouch are marked with the maker Jenner & Knewstub of London, makers of high quality desk & dressing table products. Circa 1870.
