This Italian Art Nouveau toilette set in pink alabaster features a tilt mirror with a rose-painted base and metal sculpted fittings, a three-piece estate from 1970 to 1980 that shows age with character for thoughtful bidding.
Description from the seller
An antique toilet set (or 'toilet set'), most likely dating from the period between the late 19th century (the late 1800s) and the early 20th century (the early 1900s), particularly in the Art Nouveau style or the late Victorian/Edwardian era, depending on the details.
Description of the Set
The set consists of at least three pieces.
Table Mirror
Features a tilt mirror with a metal frame.
The base is a very characteristic element: it consists of a column and a circular base, made of stone (alabaster) in light and pink tones.
The pink base features a hand-painted floral decoration, typically roses, which was very popular at that time.
The base rests on small metal feet shaped like paws, which add an ornamental and elegant touch.
Two brushes
Hair and/or clothing brushes with embossed and finely crafted metal backs.
The metal (silver-plated or another silvered metal such as alpaca or pewter) features a rich bas-relief decoration with floral and phytomorphic motifs (leaves, scrolls), in line with the Art Nouveau or Late Victorian style.
Historical Period
The combined design of:
Backs of metal brushes in embossed metal: typical of silverware and bathroom accessories from the late 1800s to the early 1900s.
Pink onyx/marble mirror base with painted floral decorations: a highly fashionable element for Art Nouveau and Liberty style table and vanity accessories.
Footed bases: a design detail widely used in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
