AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant Art Deco silver-plated Vanity Set, shell motif.
Refined vintage Art Deco vanity set (circa 1930-1940), featuring the iconic "clamshell" design. The set stands out for its clean lines and sculptural volumes typical of the period, with a satin finish that enhances the play of light and shadow created by the fan-shaped grooves.
The set is composed of 3 coordinated pieces:
Hairbrush: with original bristles and a stylized ergonomic handle.
Mirror: perfectly coordinated in design.
Comb: with a metal back decorated and teeth made of ivory-colored synthetic material (likely bakelite or cellulose nitrate from the era).
Style: Art Deco.
Material: Heavy metal, silver-plated.
Design: "Fan/Shell Design" radiating motif.
Dimensions:
- Hairbrush: height 20 cm, width 7.5 cm, weight 265 g.
- Mirror: height 23 cm, width 11.5 cm, weight 411 g.
- Comb: height 18 cm, width 4.5 cm, weight 66 g.
The set is presented in excellent vintage condition. The plating is well preserved with a beautiful natural patina (can be polished to a mirror finish or kept satin according to taste). Light signs of wear attest to its authenticity. The bristles are intact.
This design is a timeless classic, often attributed to prestigious manufacturers such as Towle or International Silver Company. It is a perfect decorative piece for a sophisticated bedroom or to enrich a collection of 20th-century silver objects.
Seller's Story
For over 20 years, I have dedicated myself passionately to the search for and trading of special, rare, curious objects from any era.
Every piece I select has something that catches my attention: it can be the shape, the story, the unusual aspect, or simply that detail that makes it unique.
I am always searching for objects that speak, that tell something to those who know how to listen.
I choose them carefully, photograph them honestly, and describe them as accurately as possible.
Selling on this Catawiki to share this passion with those who, like me, love to surround themselves with things with a soul.
