Jezler - Specchio a mano (4) - .800 argento - Set da toeletta di 4 pezzi

That is a beautiful vintage vanity set! Based on the hallmarks this is a high-quality collection with some very specific historical markers. Here is a breakdown of what those markings tell us: 1. The Silver Purity: "800" The "800" stamp indicates that the silver content is 80% pure silver and 20% alloy (usually copper). This is known as "Continental Silver." While British sterling silver is slightly higher at 92.5%, the 800 standard was the common legal requirement for silver in many European countries, most notably Germany, Italy, and Austria, during the 19th and early 20th centuries. 2. The Maker's Mark: "JEZLER" The name "JEZLER" identifies the manufacturer as Jezler Silver, a prestigious Swiss silversmith founded in 1822 in Schaffhausen. They are world-renowned for their high-quality craftsmanship and were the official silver suppliers to many European royal courts. 3. The Crest/Symbol In the photo of the comb, there is a small crest-like symbol below the 800 mark. This appears to be the Crescent Moon and Crown (Halbmond und Krone). The Crescent Moon: Represents silver. The Crown: Represents the German Empire. Meaning: This was the national hallmark for Germany after 1888. It suggests that while the pieces were made by the Swiss company Jezler, they were likely produced for export to the German market or hallmarked to meet German trade standards of that era. What does this mean for the set? Materials: The silver is solid (not plated). The bristles are likely natural boar hair, and the comb/brush inserts are likely early celluloid or faux ivory, which was common for high-end vanity sets of that period. Value: Jezler is a highly collectible brand. Because it is a complete set (mirror, hairbrush, clothes brush, and comb) in excellent condition, it has significant value to collectors of antique silver or "vanitiana."
