This listing is for a gorgeous late 19th Century ladies 3-piece vanity set consisting of a hand mirror, hair brush and clothes brush with Sterling Silver backs and decorated with a cherub on each. The set was made by Mauser and is of the highest quality. The design features a winged cherub with open arms holding onto a flower garland and appears to be sitting in the clouds. Each piece has been engraved with a lovely 3-letter monogram “H A D” below the cherub. Mirror measures 10 1/8″ long with the mirror end measuring 5 5/8″ in diameter. Weighs 374 grams (including mirror). Hair brush measures 9″ long and 3 1/8″ wide. Weighs 139 grams (as shown). Clothes brush measures 7 1/8″ long an 2″ wide. Weighs 151 grams (as shown). Combined weight is 1.8 pounds. This nice set is in very good Estate condition but does have a few minor issues. The decorated silver back displays beautifully although there is one dent in the silver on the rounded side and bottom of handle, the beveled mirror is not cracked or scratched but does have deterioration around the outer edge. The handle does has some internal chalk filler that has broken loose and does have a slight rattle sound inside. The hand mirror has a large dent on the side of the handle, smaller dents on the bottom of the handle and minor dents/dings on the rounded edge from normal wear. The natural bristles are original, clean and in good condition. When laying flat on a table, the decorative silver surface also displays beautifully. The clothes brush has good natural bristles and the silver reflects only minimal signs of normal wear.
