Description: FROM MADEIRA WITH LOVE....! Found in an estate liquidation on the island of Madeira in Portugal, that of a world traveler. Antique "Maderas de Oriente Perfume" packaging, still intact although no perfume was left. Made in Spain by Myrurgia, introduced in 1918, this is an earlier example. The glass bottle has a colorful enameled label. The bottle is encased in a wooden bullet shaped presentation box and real sandalwood strips that floated in the scent are still present. The glass bottle and stopper are in good order, no chips or cracks........ some residue lingers as well as a faint aroma of the original contents. The wooden case was originally fitted with a braided wool tassel. That detail was lost. The top of the box slides onto a base. The fit is very tight and I did not want to force it since both parts are free of chips or cracks in the wood. The case stands approximately 6 inches tall while the bottle is 4 1/4 inches in height. The original paper label still affixed to the back of the box is only a partial. The bottle is of really good quality, smooth in the hand with a polished base. Offered as an example of the earlier packaging of this exotic product, with no perfume, the bottle empty. I inserted a standard size playing card in some photos as a reference for size. MUCH OBLIGED
