Description from the seller

A whisper of elegance from times past that reappears from a jewel case, a silent witness to ancient gestures and timeless beauty.

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

The soul of the set consists of refined accessories in 800 silver, all regularly stamped with the mark "VM" (the silversmith's identifier of the period) and the indication of the purity "800". The type of punch 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 with elegance.
Hairbrush: With a silver back richly decorated with floral motifs and scrolls.

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

Perfume/salt flask: In frosted glass with a screw cap in silver, decorated to coordinate.

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

Tweezers: Functional accessory with meticulous details.

Technical Details and Condition:

Material: 800 silver (punched VM 800).

Era: Early 1900s (before 1934).

Conditions: The set is in excellent conservative condition. The silver has a splendid natural patina. The leather case is sturdy and well preserved, with slight signs of age that enhance its authenticity.

Package dimensions: 17*23 cm

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

Important note: The uploaded photos are an integral and fundamental part of the lot description to show the real state of the objects and the beauty of the decorations.
