This listing is for a gorgeous 9-piece Sterling Silver Art Nouveau Period dresser or vanity set by the Watrous Mfg. The set features Sterling Silver frames with an engraved vining flower design around the outer body. Each piece is stamped “Sterling” with the Watrous Mfg. Cut crystal hand mirror – measuring 10″ long and 5 3/4″ wide. The outside frame of the mirror has a number of dents and dings with the most prominent damage being on the top edge and on the mirror side with the mirror frame being slight loose on the right side. There is also a minor split in the seam on one edge. If used as an accessory on a vanity, laying flat with the mirror down you see very little of the frame damage. The mirror itself is in very good condition with minor signs of use. Hair brush with replaced bristles – measuring 8 7/8″ long and 3 1/4″ wide. Hair brush has minor dents and dings around the outside edge from normal wear and a diagonal crease on the top. Comb frame – measuring 7 1/2″ long and 3/4″ at widest. Comb frame has minor dints and dings across top with the silver seam loose. Faux tortoiseshell comb missing one tooth. At the holes were a small nail would attach the silver frame to the comb there appears to be some substance in the top of each hole? Nail buffer – measures 4 3/4″ long, 1 1/8″ wide and 2 high. Original covering for the buffer is in excellent condition and the silver reflects only minimal signs of normal wear. Nail file – measures 6 7/8″ long and 3/4″ wide. The silver is in excellent condition reflecting only minimal signs of normal wear. The metal file end is definitely worn and has some minor signs of rust. Button hook – measuring 7 3/8″ long and 3/4″ wide. Metal button hook end shows normal wear. Letter opener – measuring 8 3/4″ long and 3/4″ wide. The blade is in excellent condition and is marked “Sheffield Stainless Blade, Made in England”. Nail cuticle tool – measuring 5″ long and 3/4″ wide. The cuticle tool end shows normal wear. Magnifying glass – measures 7 3/8″ long and 3/4″ wide. The glass end measures 3 in diameter. The frame of the magnifying glass has a couple of rust spots that we have not tried to remove. The glass fits correctly and the frame is attached tightly into the silver handle. This is a nice 9-piece set that will make a lovely display on any dressing table. It does have some flaws as mentioned above but is priced very reasonably taking this into consideration.
