AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

“An echo of elegance from times past that resurfaces from a jewel box, a silent witness to ancient gestures and timeless beauty.”

Splendid and elegant travel or bedroom vanity set, dating from the early decades of the 20th century (full Liberty style). The set is kept in its original black leather case of excellent craftsmanship, which is in good vintage condition, preserving the charm of the era intact.

The soul of the set consists of refined 800 silver accessories, all regularly hallmarked with the mark "VM" (the silversmith’s identifying mark of the period) and the designation of the fineness "800". The type of the hallmark allows dating the set with certainty to a period before the 1934 reform.

The set comprises:

Table mirror: Set in a leather frame that serves as a stand, with a rear foot to be placed down with elegance.
Hairbrush: With a silver back richly decorated with floral motifs and scrolls.

Nail buffer (buffing tool): Iconic object of past beauty rituals, complete with its worked silver stand.

Perfume/salt bottle: Frosted glass with a screw cap in coordinated decorated silver.

Comb case: Silver finely worked case (note that the inner comb is not present).

Tweezers: Functional accessory with refined details.

Technical Details and Condition:

Material: 800 silver (VM 800 hallmarked).

Era: Early 1900s (pre-1934).

Conditions: The set is in excellent conservational condition. The silver presents a splendid natural patina. The leather case is solid and well preserved, with slight signs of time that enhance its authenticity.

Package dimensions: 17×23 cm

Weight of the silver items: 166 grams, excluding the bottle glass as shown in the photo

Important note: The uploaded photos are an integral and essential part of the lot description, showing the real state of the objects and the beauty of the decorations.
