Lot of empty vintage perfume boxes Lalique Escada Burberry old miniatures retro
AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Detailed visual description
This lot consists of 26 antique empty boxes for miniature perfumes, from various iconic houses. The visible sides reveal a variety of compact and rectangular formats, with some boxes adopting more original shapes, such as two translucent matte leaf-shaped cases. The color palette is rich: blue, red, yellow, silver, gold, black, white, turquoise, and pink, with graphic patterns or solid blocks of color depending on the brands.
Several renowned brands are legible on the front faces: Lalique, Cabochard, Escada, Ted Lapidus, Burberrys, Jean-Charles Brosseau, Jacomo, Grès, Dalimix, Guy Laroche, as well as editions such as "Fleurs d’Orlane", "Ohlala", "Fantôme", "Angel’s Breath", "Secret Vénus", "Be Bop", "Malavie", "Ombre Rose". Some boxes feature embossed details or metallic gold or silver prints, lending an elegant finish typical of late 20th-century perfume packaging.
The visible graphics vary between minimalist design (as with Lalique or Escada) and more expressive or geometric patterns (e.g., a black checkered box by Guy Laroche). Some boxes feature stylized illustrations or emblematic logos. Texts are generally in French, sometimes in English, and the mentions "Eau de toilette", "Eau de parfum", or "Parfum" are frequent on the exposed sides.
The lot also includes two visible empty miniature bottles: one translucent blue with an Asian decor, the other purple with a floral motif. The diversity of brands, shapes, and decorations makes this set a representative sample of perfume packaging trends from the 80s-90s, with Art Deco, minimalist, or typical French prestige perfumery influences.
The boxes are arranged on a black background, well presented, which allows for good readability of the inscriptions and the absence of major stains or tears on the visible sides. Some minor signs of wear or creases may be observed on certain corners, without altering the general appearance.
This lot is ideal for reconstituting miniatures, window display decoration, or finding boxes to complete old bottles. It is intended for anyone who wishes to rediscover the authentic aesthetics of vintage perfume packaging.
