AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An exquisite vintage grooming set from the era (mid-20th century), crafted in 800 silver and presented in its sumptuous original case.
The set stands out for its understated, elegant design, characterized by a surface finish with fine vertical lines (guilloché) in Art Deco style, which gives the pieces a shimmering, changing luster.
The set includes (5 pieces):
Hand mirror: featuring a large, original glass and a contoured ergonomic handle.
Two hair brushes: a matched pair with bristles in excellent condition.
Garment brush: Smaller and more portable, ideal for fabric care.
Comb: with a reinforced back in matching silver.
Technical Details and Terms:
Material: solid silver, fineness 800 (hallmarks on every piece).
Case: Original period box with a champagne/gold satin interior and a rigid external cover. The case has protected the items from bumps and excessive oxidation.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The silver shows a natural patina of age that attests to its authenticity.
The bristles and the mirror are intact.
This set is not only a daily-use object of the highest class, but a true piece of bedroom decor for classic sleeping rooms or a display item for collectors of Italian silverware. The presence of the original tag and the box makes it perfect also as a prestigious gift.
Professional shipping and packaging.
