Antique German toilet set and manicure in silver 800, complete with its original case, dating from the late 19th to the early decades of the 20th century, roughly 1890-1920.

The set consists of seven coordinated implements, characterized by elegant silver handles with raised floral decoration in Art Nouveau / Jugendstil taste. Present, among others, a wideners, a boot jack (calzascarpe), button hooks, a file, and several instruments intended for manicure and personal grooming.
