Tres Chic The Vintage Rue De La Paix Perfume Gas Street Lamp Ash Tray Exists.

Recent find for D & L Vintage was this extremely unique combination of vintage perfume – Paris Gas street lamps – the Rue de La Paix and cigarettes ? All combined in this wonderful vintage piece which has the Paris three gas lamp whose top opens to reveal two ( one is missing) vintage perfume glass bottles. The bottles are marked Parfum Lanterne de Paris and Paris France. Researching the Rue de La Paix in Paris I found that it is one of the most fashionable streets in all of Paris and is know for it’s jewelers. Cartier opened their store in 1898 at 13, Rue de La Paix. The street name was picked by the maker for this reason one of extreme quality. The combination and use of cigarettes to disguise the smell of smoke is and was very useful since at that time smoking was considered very elegant. ( At that time the harmful effects of cigarette smoke were not yet known.) It is a work of art in it’s own right with the base having the look of round cobblestoned streets and painted detailing on the lamp post. The base could be used to hold jewelry as a jewel tray instead of cigarettes and would make a divinely exceptional one of a kind piece for a collector.
