Description from the seller
Splendid and refined vanity and ladies' purse set, an authentic piece of European craftsmanship from the first half of the 20th century (Liberty / Deco Era). The set is entirely made of 800 silver and is adorned with exquisite geometric and floral engravings executed in repoussé. The set is exceptionally complete and consists of:
Hand mirror: With a shaped handle and classic decorations on the back.
Chased case with tortoiseshell comb: Richly worked case with floral scrolls, complete with its inner tortoiseshell-finished comb.
Linear case with fine-toothed comb: Rigid case with a texture of parallel vertical lines, complete with its clear inner comb with fine teeth.
Sliding lipstick case: A rare mechanical piece featuring a cabochon in authentic hard stone (turquoise) that acts as the button to slide and open the integrated rectangular mirror.
All silver items bear the “800” hallmark certifying the metal’s purity. The inner combs and mechanisms are in excellent preserved condition, making this lot a rarity for collectors.
Material: 800 silver, hard stone (turquoise), celluloid/bakelite
Conditions: Excellent vintage condition. The combs are intact with no missing teeth. Mirrors and mechanisms functioning with the normal and charming signs of age.
