Frasco de perfume
c. 1938
Imagine reaching for this hexagonal bottle on a 1930s vanity table. Erwin Schwabe’s 1938 sketch captures a perfume bottle design that exudes quiet luxury, featuring delicate floral motifs and curling vines in soft browns and golds. It looks like a precise design proposal from the late Art Deco era, showcasing the kind of illustrative skill used in commercial catalogs before photography took over completely. The shading on the glass stopper is so convincing you can almost see the light reflecting off it.
