Description from the seller

Antique Gorham sterling silver brush set, 3-piece / USA: with personal name engravings, stamped 'Gorham, Sterling, 23'

A stylish collectible from the heyday of American silver artistry—rarely preserved in such complete form.

The three-piece set is notable for its elaborately crafted floral relief ornamentation in the classic turn-of-the-century style and stands as an exemplar of the high silversmithing of the era. The fine motifs give the pieces a special depth and a luxurious character.

Manufactured as part of a classic vanity set, it was originally used for stylish hair and garment care and is today a desirable collectible as well as a decorative highlight.
