Description from the seller
Antique Silver-Mounted Garment Brush with Raised Rose Decoration – Original Fitted Case
Portugal assay mark (1938-1984), 833/000, and same date marker's mark.
Elegant antique garment / clothes brush, featuring a finely decorated silver-mounted top and presented in its original fitted case.
The upper surface is richly worked in relief with a beautiful composition of roses and foliage, surrounded by elegant scrolling ornament and a delicate beaded border. The combination of the floral decoration and polished silver surface gives the piece a particularly refined appearance.
The brush retains its original light-coloured bristles and is housed in a charming cream-coloured fitted presentation case, with a patterned exterior and satin-lined interior specifically shaped to hold the brush.
The case is also an attractive part of the ensemble and enhances its appeal as a period vanity or personal accessory.
Dimension: 16.5cm
Weight: 90.38g
Condition: Good antique condition, with normal signs of age and previous use. Some patina, light surface wear and minor marks are present. The bristles show age-related wear. The original case has some staining, discolouration and wear consistent with its age, all clearly visible in the photographs.
Please examine the photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of the description.
A charming and decorative antique silver-mounted garment brush, particularly appealing to collectors of antique silver, vanity accessories and period dressing-table objects.
Original fitted case included.
