Asprey Gold Turquoise and Coral Pomander with Tassel This exceptional vintage pomander by Asprey is a rare fusion of history, artistry, and function. Expertly crafted in 14K yellow gold , it is adorned with vibrant turquoise and coral cabochons arranged in a refined ornamental pattern. The piece is further enhanced by a beautifully detailed gold tassel , adding a dynamic, decorative touch and echoing the sophistication of historic scent jewels. Pomanders have been cherished for centuries—originating in the Middle Ages as vessels filled with aromatic herbs and resins to mask unpleasant odors and protect the wearer from disease. Over time, they evolved into luxurious personal accessories, often commissioned by royalty and high society. This Asprey pomander exemplifies that evolution, combining old-world charm with exquisite craftsmanship. The hinged design allows it to open and be filled with fragrant substances such as dried flowers or perfumed oils, gently diffusing scent throughout the day. Housed in its original Asprey London box and retailed by Asprey , this piece is not only a functional fragrance vessel but also a work of decorative art and a coveted collectible.
