Description from the seller

Rare and very beautiful complete Art Deco vanity set in its original presentation box.

This elegant English travel toilet kit from the 1920s-1930s illustrates the refined craftsmanship of British silversmithing of the era.

Each piece is adorned with translucent guilloché enamel in a vibrant coral-orange shade. The underlying guilloche work reveals a radiating pattern of concentric waves of great finesse, perfectly catching the light.

CONTENTS OF THE BOX (5 PIECES)

Large handheld mirror with entirely enamelled back.
Hairbrush with a silvered metal mount and natural bristles.
Two powder boxes / circular ointment flasks with matching enamelled lids.
Circular enamelled jewelry dish / trinket tray.

FEATURES AND CONDITION

Style / Era: Art Deco (circa 1920-1930)
Origin: England (Stamp "MADE IN ENGLAND" on the back of the brush)
Materials: Silvered metal, translucent guilloché enamel
Color: Coral Orange / Amber

Condition: Remarkable vintage condition. The enamel is very well preserved, with no major cracks or losses, retaining all its brilliance. Natural patina from use on the silvered metal and slight signs of age on the interior of the case attest to its authenticity.

Presentation case: Sold in its original rigid case with custom-fit compartments.
