AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant foldable pocket comb, made of silver 835/1000, probably of German or Central European origin, datable to the first half of the 20th century.
The piece features rich hand-engraved decoration with vegetal motifs and scrolls, developed on both sides of the case. The finely worked background creates an attractive contrast with the polished surfaces of the ornament.
Inside there is a foldable amber-toned comb, fully protected by the silver case when closed. The articulated system allows opening and storing the comb, turning it into an elegant personal pocket or dressing-table accessory.
The piece preserves contrasts of silver and a maker's mark partially visible. The indication corresponding to 835/1000 silver is identified. Due to wear of the punches, the definitive identification of the manufacturer and country of production requires further investigation. By type, material, and style, it is provisionally attributed to Germany / Central Europe.
