I usually offer a good cross section of my vintage, antique, and collectible items. Currently I am downsizing my vanity collection and have some beautiful pieces for you. I am happy to answer questions but please don't wait to last minute.
This is a simply GORGEOUS
VINTAGE NUDE FIGURAL FRENCH PERFUME BOTTLE
"ISADORA"
If you are a perfume bottle collector then you will want to view this piece. It is signed “Isadora Paris” and is a beautifully designed and crafted vintage glass perfume bottle with a frosted crystal nude stopper depicting Isadora Duncan. This is a finely crafted piece with attention to detail … her short hair, eyes, mouth, nose, nipples and even a strand of pearls around her neck. She sits on a pillow-shaped bottle that contains her perfume, bound with a golden cord.
The ½ FL OZ perfume is a delicate spicy scent (just like Isadora).
Isadora Duncan (1877 – 1927) was an American dancer and considered by many to be the mother of Modern Dance. In 1899, she moved to Europe, first to London and then to Paris. She soon gained success with her dance school and notoriety for her improvisational dancing, barefoot and dressed in clinging scarves. A free spirit who rejected the rigidity of traditional ballet steps, she preferred to show emotion and celebrate the human form. She was the inspiration of artists and authors.
Referenced in the book Fragrance Bottle Masterpieces by Joanne Dubbs & Dorothy H Torem, the original nude figure was for Jolie Marquis by de Molinas (@1920). Then a similar bottle modeled after Isadora Duncan was created in the 1940s by Pierre Dune for Sequoia and then in the 1980s the “Isadora” line was created. This is the 1980s edition and very collectible. The bottom of the bottle is embossed “Isadora 1979 Bottle Made in France”. The bottle measures 3” high and 1-1/4” across the widest point.
It comes in its original red satin drawstring bag and box. The box has two golden nudes on the front and says “ISADORA”. It measures 4-1/4” high x 2-3/4” x 2-3/4” square.
Condition
This bottle is 30 years old and in lovely condition. No chips, no cracks, no damage. It is still sealed and has not been opened. However, it looks like there has been some evaporation. The satin bag is perfect. The box has some minor marks but not torn. The bottom of the bottle and box still have the original price tags.
Because it is rare to find an "Isadora" bottle of perfume of this size in such good condition complete with original satin bag and box also in good condition, a reasonable reserve has been put on this sale.
THIS WOULD MAKE A PERFECT GIFT FOR SOMEONE SPECIAL (INCLUDING YOURSELF)
