Elaborate And Unused Commercial Perfume Product Labels, 1890-1900, for the company Victor Vaissier

Elaborate And Unused Commercial Perfume Product Labels, 1890-1900, for the company Victor Vaissier, Paris, comprising: a set of labels in dark blue and gold with turquoise highlights, both for "Savon Violette Tatiana"; a much heavier, embossed and elaborately gilded, shaped label for "Royal Vaissier Savon"; another in lighter form for the same product, which would presumably cover the whole box; and two more ordinary but very decorative box labels for the soaps "Helianthis d'Or" and "Orpha" the latter probably a later product than the others (6)

Sold for £40
Estimated at £30 - £50


 

. All good except for the set, where both labels are slightly creased to the right corner and the larger label has a white scratch just above the central motif.
