Elegantly hallmarked for London, 1930, the matching hand mirror and hairbrush are beautifully finished in luminous powder blue enamel, their radiant sunburst engine-turned patterns shimmering beneath a flawless translucent enamel surface. The delicate interplay of light across the finely engraved silver creates a captivating depth and brilliance that has made guilloché enamel one of the most admired decorative techniques in fine silver.

Remarkably well preserved, this elegant set displays minimal evidence of handling, allowing the vibrant enamel to retain its exceptional color and glossy finish. The graceful Art Deco styling is both sophisticated and timeless, making these pieces as beautiful today as when they were first presented nearly a century ago. Completing the ensemble is the original fitted presentation box, a feature seldom found with surviving vanity sets and one that greatly enhances both the collectibility and display appeal of the collection.

The hand mirror measures 9.25 inches long, 4.5 inches wide, and 0.50 inch high, with a weight of 208 grams, while the matching hairbrush measures 8.25 inches long, 3.5 inches wide, and 1.5 inches high, weighing 94 grams. The beautifully fitted presentation case measures 10.75 inches wide, 8 inches deep, and 2.25 inches high, providing an elegant home for this exceptional pair.

Good antique condition, there is evidence these were gold gilded at one time with gilding remnants. The hair brush has one small spot of damage to the enamel near bottom of the handle. The mirror has some spotting artifacts due to age. The underside of the handle has a few indents. Overall the enamel is in beautiful condition. Please review the photos for further condition assessment.

Whether displayed on a dressing table, vanity, or within a collection of fine English silver, this remarkable set represents the height of luxury vanity accessories from the Art Deco period. Combining brilliant guilloché enamel, hallmarked London sterling silver, and its original presentation case, it is an increasingly scarce survivor that will appeal to collectors of fine silver, Art Deco decorative arts, luxury vanity accessories, and museum-quality English antiques. A truly exceptional heirloom, this set embodies elegance, craftsmanship, and timeless beauty. See less
