Like paintings and jewelry, perfume bottles are now the subject of a unique sales theme at the Hôtel Drouot. While some renowned bottles have reached unusual prices, others, less known or poorly identified, have struggled to exceed their estimates. This work partially filled the lack of historical documentation. Eight hundred and thirty-nine bottles produced by the Cristalleries de Baccarat from 1889 to 1992 are pictured using documents extracted from their archives and specimens from the collection visible at the Baccarat Museum in Paris to constitute this collector's guide. Chronological index and an alphabetical index of perfumers.
It is a beautiful coffee table art book.
