Description
Step back into the elegance of the Victorian and Art Nouveau eras with this charming four-piece antique silver-plated vanity set. The hair brush features beautifully detailed repousse work with scrolling florals and a central cartouche medallion framed by berries and foliage — hallmarks of late 19th to early 20th century silversmithing craftsmanship. The clothes or buffer brush displays a stunning Art Nouveau motif with flowing lily or daisy blossoms and sinuous organic lines characteristic of the 1890s–1910s style movement. The set is completed by a celluloid-toothed comb with an ornate silver-plated spine featuring dense floral and scroll repousse, and a small oval pill or rouge case with matching floral embossing. Together, these pieces evoke the intimate ritual of the Edwardian dressing table, evoking a time when personal grooming accessories were considered works of decorative art. This lot is ideal for collectors of antique vanity sets, Art Nouveau silver, or Victorian dressing table accessories. Display them in a shadow box, use them as prop styling for period photography, or restore them to their original silver luster — these pieces carry genuine historical charm and decorative appeal.
