AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant antique two-piece vanity set consisting of a hand mirror and a clothes/hair brush with beautifully embossed floral and scroll decoration. The pieces are covered in sterling silver and display a refined Art Nouveau / Edwardian style with richly chased repoussé ornamentation.
Both pieces bear clear silver hallmarks. From the photographs I can identify:
* “STERLING” (on the brush)
* 925 silver standard (sterling silver = 92.5% pure silver)
* Additional maker’s marks/registration marks appear to be present but are not fully legible from the photographs.
This indicates that the silver mounts are sterling silver (925/1000), likely of British or American manufacture, dating approximately to the early 20th century (circa 1900–1930).
The mirror retains its original bevelled glass, and the brush still has its original cream-coloured bristles. The decorative silver work is finely executed with floral motifs and scrolling leaves on both pieces.
Condition
* Good antique condition with normal signs of age and use.
* Light surface scratches, minor wear and small dents/irregularities consistent with age.
* Some patina and tarnishing to the silver.
* Brush bristles show age-related wear.
* Mirror glass appears intact with minor signs of age.
Material
* Sterling silver (925/1000) mounted
* Glass mirror
* Natural/synthetic bristles (not tested)
