Fascination:
An extremely rare presentation of Fascination by Bryenne from 1928, a round glass bottle molded with a snake wrapped around it, the stopper is in the shape of a woman's head. The bottom part of the bottle is painted with "Fascination Bryenne" in gilded enamel. Height of the flacon : 80 mm. Height of the box: 90 mm.
The flacon is a literal representation of Eve as the stopper and the seductive snake, with the bottle being the original forbidden fruit, the base of the bottle is molded to resemble the bottom of an apple. The box hearkens the design of the snake amongst the tree of knowledge in a most beautiful way in the Art Deco style.
