A passion for antique objects<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

Thanks to his uncle, who had very early on set about sharing with him his knowledge of art history, Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Costa, the father of the current female directors, remained passionate all his life about antique objects. Museum visits, travels, reading, discussions with experts, curators, historians or simply enthusiasts, shaped his taste for antiques and more particularly for the French 18th century.<\/p>\n

A pioneer in the field, Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Costa began his collection of perfumery art objects in the 1950s, at a time when perfume did not arouse the curiosity it does today. Initially driven by professional interest, he quickly became a key collector, building a collection unique in the world both for the quality of the pieces and for their number and diversity: distillation apparatus, and art objects ranging from antiquity to the mid-20th century.<\/p>\n

Trained by their father and equally passionate, Agn\u00e8s and Fran\u00e7oise carry on his work and continue to enrich the museum's collections very regularly with new acquisitions.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Janus is a Roman god, the god of gates and passages. Since a doorway is the entrance to another place, or to another time, he is therefore also the god of the dawn and of beginnings. This type of flask was often dedicated to perfumes.<\/p>\n

The pomander is an apple-shaped ball composed of odoriferous products such as ambergris, civet or musk. This silver-gilt and silver pomander rests on a screwed flat circular foot, the body shaped like a pomegranate and applied with eight small figures, opening into eight compartments, each with a sliding lid engraved with a perfume name: tuberose, benzoin, pastille, amber, jonquil, musk, jasmine and civet.<\/p>\n

The pomander is an apple-shaped ball composed of scented products such as ambergris, civet or musk. From the 14th century onwards, these jewellery-objects, sometimes worn at the waist, were exceptional pieces of goldsmith's work. This segmented pomander is decorated with figures, probably Ottoman, and inside each compartment is inscribed the name of the scent placed within: cinnamon, rosemary, musk, rose...<\/p>\n

In the 18th century, English soft-paste porcelain scent bottles, particularly those produced by the Chelsea factory or attributed to the so-called Girl-in-a-Swing series, bear witness to a typically Rococo refinement. Manufactured between the 1750s and 1765, these small containers for perfume or smelling salts often took the form of gallant figures or pastoral scenes in the round. Soft-paste porcelain allowed for delicate modelling and subtle polychrome decoration, often enhanced with gilding. Intended for personal use and dressing-table adornment, these bottles combined olfactory function with the status of luxury objects.<\/p>\n

The Goldfinch Bottle<\/h3>\n

This rectangular scent bottle is carved from bloodstone and adorned with a repouss\u00e9 gold stopper, linked to the neck by a small chain. On the body, a navette-shaped medallion, framed in gold, features a micromosaic depicting a naturalistic goldfinch perched on a branch. This motif, developed by Giacomo Raffaelli and his workshop, is framed by a decoration of white and black smalti bordered with red, following the stylistic codes of the master mosaicist. Crafted in the late 18th or early 19th century, the piece was probably brought back from Italy during a Grand Tour, and subsequently mounted onto a bottle in France or England.<\/p>\n

The mount of this bottle features, at the base and on both sides, two animals: a stork with its beak stuck in a vase stands next to a fox, and a stork watching a fox eat. These are two scenes taken from La Fontaine's Fables, which were in vogue in the mid-18th century. The neck of the bottle is decorated with a dove motif which is repeated on the stopper. The base of the bottle features an oval hardstone that can be used as a seal.<\/p>\n
