A SAINT LOUIS FOR BICHARA GLASS WITH GREY PATINA RAMSES II PERFUME BOTTLE 1928 with exterior and interior stoppers, etched 'Bichara Paris' along edge of base height 9 3/4in (25cm); width and depth of base 4in (10cm) Footnotes: Provenance Private Collection, Georgia The Bichara perfume company was established in 1896 by Bichara Malhame, who counted Sarah Bernhardt, Anna Pavlova, and the Egyptian Court among his clients. Bichara commissioned the Compagnie de Cristalleries de Saint Louis to manufacture the obelisk-shaped bottle for their Ramses II perfume that debuted in 1928. This collaboration was one of Bichara's most striking perfume presentations, and examples of the bottle rarely appear today. This same model is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and featured in its 2012 exhibition 'Egyptomania.'
