Hi All

Samson's Laque Burgauté really  is a  beauty. I   have  seen  it  and  I was  IMPRESSED  BIG  TIME !

There  are even   beautiful inlays  on the bottle side  and the   stopper  top

I could not believe that  every  single  little  inlaid tile  of  mother-of-pearl and  gold  were  individually  made by hand  with  such perfect  regularity.  It  was  only when  we made the  blow-up  that  I  could  see  how  the inlays were  made.  Exquisite !

Goodness  knows  how  long  it  took the   artist to  make the  bottle  !

Cheers

Peter

PS:   Samson  has  a  small  but  very tasteful  collection ...  and  growing.
