Comprising a hand mirror, two brushes, and a comb, each piece is richly clad in solid sterling silver with a beautifully executed hand-hammered finish that reflects light with exceptional brilliance and texture. The understated yet sophisticated design embodies the refined aesthetic of the Taishō period, blending traditional Japanese craftsmanship with the fashionable Art Deco influences emerging throughout the world.

Each piece is fully stamped Sterling and bears the mark of Okubo, Japan, a respected Japanese silversmith known for producing fine sterling silver vanity and dressing table accessories for both the domestic and export markets during the early decades of the 20th century. Okubo's work is admired for its substantial silver overlay, exceptional finishing, and elegant hand craftsmanship, making complete sets such as this increasingly difficult to find today.

Unlike many vanity sets with thin silver plating, this collection features a thick sterling silver surface over each piece, giving the set an impressive weight and luxurious feel in the hand. The hammered finish creates a lively play of light while the matching engraved monograms lend an air of timeless sophistication. The set remains beautifully coordinated, making it equally suitable for display in a refined dressing room, bedroom, or collector's cabinet.

Adding to its desirability, the set is accompanied by its original fitted presentation box, an uncommon survival that enhances both its historical significance and display appeal.
