Overview A finely crafted vintage Kohl bottle and perfume vial featuring a smooth, honey-toned carved casing encased in ornate silver-toned metal mounts. Complete with its original diamond-finial applicator wand, this functional ethnographic artifact serves as an elegant vanity accent, perfume vessel, or sculptural display item. It brings rich texture and historical charm to Boho Chic, Global Eclectic, or Wabi-Sabi dressing tables, curio shelves, and mantle arrangements. Cultural & Artistic Background Rooted in North African and Saharan vanity traditions, vessels of this style were historically crafted to store cosmetic eye pigments (kohl) and essential oils. Artisans fashioned the main body using smooth, hand-shaped amber-toned panels framed by hand-applied wave overlay and twisted wire filigree trim. The removable stopper features a diamond-shaped topper decorated with engraved spiral scrollwork, terminating in a slender metal dipstick wand designed for traditional application. Condition & Surface Character Preserved in excellent vintage condition with strong structural integrity throughout. The carved body exhibits a warm, age-matured amber luster with subtle surface graining. The silver-tone metal casing displays light, desirable surface oxidation and dark antiquing within the recessed filigree borders. The stopper threads and applicator wand remain clean, straight, and fully functional. Dimensions & Weight Height: 4.5 inches Width/Diameter: 1.2 inches Depth: 1.0 inch Weight Profile: Solid/Moderate (compact metal and carved build)
