Yardley - Nell Gwynne


This is a very small bottle, only just over 5cm or 2".   This scent dates from 1910 and the label features a portrait of Nell Gwynne.

Nell Gwynne, 1650 - 1687, was one of the first English actresses and is sometimes descrbed as a prostitute.   She was the mistress of King Charles II of England.

I have also included an image of the Yardley quality stamp on the rear of the bottle.   I have never seen that before.
