Offering a stunning five piece antique art nouveau vanity set. This belonged to my great aunt and dates to between 1890 and 1910. Included is a rectangular mirror, a hair brush, a celluloid comb and a covered glass powder jar. Each piece is covered with ornately worked metal of a bronze color although I have no idea what the metal actually is. The decoration is exquisite with leaves, flowers, cornucopias, flourishes, trellises, etc. At the center of each back is an enameled oval picture in shades of green. The mirror measures 14″ in length and 7 1/2″ across. It is deeply beveled and has a touch of aging in the glass but no chips or cracks. There is a very slight dent on one part of the handle. The hair brush measures 11″ X 3 1/4″. The metal work and enameling are the same. The bristles are mounted in painted wood and a bit of the paint is chipped in one corner, revealing the wood beneath. The comb measures 8″ X 2″. The teeth are a celluloid imitation of tortoise shell. The covered jar is round but it’s cover is a square measuring 4 1/4″ X 4 1/4″. Same wonderful metal and enamel work details. The crystal jar measures 5″ in diameter and 2 1/2″ in height. It’s sides are etched and cut with a series of bars and leafy garlands. No chips or damage. All in all a stunning and possibly unique set. The item “Antique Enameled Art Nouveau 5 pc Vanity Set Mirror Brush Comb Powder Jar” is in sale since Wednesday, February 21, 2018.
