Description from the seller

“A hint of elegance from bygone times that reemerges from a jewel case, a silent witness to ancient gestures and timeless beauty.”

Splendid and elegant travel or vanity toiletry 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 presents itself in good vintage condition, preserving the charm of the era intact.

The soul of the set consists of refined 800 silver accessories, all regularly stamped with the mark "VM" (the silversmith’s identifying mark of the time) and the indication of the fineness "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 structure that serves as a stand, with a rear foot to be placed gracefully.
Hairbrush: With a silver back richly decorated with floral motifs and scrolls.

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

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

Needle case: Silver case finely worked (note that the internal comb is not present).

Tweezers: Functional accessory with careful detailing.

Technical Details and Conditions:

Material: 800 Silver (stamped VM 800).

Era: Early 1900s (pre-1934).

Conditions: The set is in excellent conservational condition. The silver shows 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 objects: 166 grams, excluding the 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.
