What Our Customers Say...

Description

Colour Plates, Early Edition, Illustrated, Pleasing Copy, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

A fundamental work for any collector or admirer of perfume bottles, Christie Mayer Lefkowith's expertise as a collector and dealer for over thirty years clearly translates to this text, providing a comprehensive overview of "perfume presentation", a phrase coined by the author to describe a 'perfume's complete package'; the name, label, box and flacon. The work includes details of bottle designs from influential glass makers such as Lalique and Baccarat Collated, complete with 370 illustrations, 220 of which are in colour, and a helpful 'A-Z of Perfume'. Complete with original dustwrapper.
