Dressing table set - .925 silver

Guilloché enamel, a decorative technique involving engine-turned patterns beneath a translucent layer of enamel, gained significant popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This intricate method was often applied to precious metals like silver and gold, adorning items ranging from jewelry and snuff boxes to writing instruments and personal grooming tools. Its appeal lay in the combination of precise mechanical artistry and the lustrous, colorful finish of the enamel.

Silverware and personal grooming sets have a long history, evolving from purely functional objects to expressions of status and personal style. During the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods, in particular, silversmiths and enamelists collaborated to create exquisite pieces that blended traditional craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetics. Such sets were often presented in fitted cases, enhancing their perceived value and making them desirable gifts or personal acquisitions.

This set is made of solid 925 Silver and then blue enamel handles whereas the upper parts are silver plated.
