A hinged turban cap lends an Ottoman inspired accent, in step with the Orientalist taste fashionable in Paris, in painting, dress, and the decorative arts, including the harem scenes of Ingres and Delacroix. Turquoise was named for its Turkish route into Europe, a link that suits the turban form rather well. The perfume aperture retains its removable gold applicator stopper for discreet dabbing behind the ears, an oddly intimate object that still suggests scent, skin, and a private ritual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eVery good condition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCountry of origin\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFrance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeriod\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCirca 1860\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e18 carat yellow gold (touchstone tested)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eExtra information\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe bottle itself is probably glass, set within an openwork gold lattice, with a turquoise at each junction.
