Description from the seller

A whisper of elegance from bygone times that resurfaces from a treasure chest, a silent witness to ancient gestures and timeless beauty.

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

The soul of the set consists of refined accessories in 800 silver, all regularly stamped with the mark "VM" (identifier of the silversmith of the era) and the indication of the fineness "800". The type of the punch allows dating the set with certainty to a period before the 1934 reform.

The set comprises:

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

Buffer (polisher) for nails: Iconic object of beauty rituals of the past, complete with its engraved silver support.

Perfume/salts bottle: In frosted glass with a screw cap in silver decorated to match.

Comb case: A silver case finely worked (it should be noted that the inner comb is not present).

Tweezers: Functional accessory with refined detailing.

Technical Details and Condition:

Material: 800 silver (punched VM 800).

Era: Early 1900s (pre-1934).

Condition: 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
