CLEOPATRA'S BOUDOIR

Chamart (JOHN R. WALKER CO.) was an importing company that originally started in the early  1950's  by Charles Martine, hence the name "Chamart". They specialized in fine dinnerware, hand painted ceramics, replica and unusual perfume bottles and crystal.

It was not until 1965 that Chamart started developing all handpainted museum quality Limoges boxes as pieces for the coffee table and he introduced the Limoges Box to the American market, designing a collection for Tiffany & Company. The line developed slowly and over the last thirty five years has evolved into Limoges boxes as we know them today. It was immensely popular and quickly became the cornerstone of Chamart's business.

It is possible to find Chamart perfume bottles and atomizers on the internet, the pieces had labels which read Chamart France. People often think that Chamart was an actual perfume company, but they weren't. They imported the bottles from France and sold them into the USA. I often find them being sold with out their labels, and many times they are called antiques. They aren't antiques, they would be considered vintage. Sometimes the bottles are often sold as Czechoslovakian, but again, they were made in France. All of the perfumes I have seen are frosted and in various colors such as pink, opalescent,  clear and blue. i will add more pictures as I come across them.
