Two Antique Scent Bottles

The first a very fine miniature Chinese cloisonné enameled vase with cover, the gilt metal body with applied wires creating cloisonnés individually filled with colored enamels, unmarked (2 in., excluding chain) (with later applied gilt metal handles and gold chain); the second an unmarked silver and wirework scent bottle further decorated with turquoise and pearls, likely Continental (3.25 in., to top of decorative scrollwork bail) (missing one pearl to handle).

By descent from the John Jacob Astor IV family of Rhinebeck, New York, through William Astor Drayton, the father of Countess Margaret (Peggy) Reventlow, philanthropist and patron of services for the blind
