This elegant 4-piece vanity set is set in sterling silver and is made from a gorgeous shade of vibrant blue-mauve enamel. It has been prettily decorated on all the pieces with floral swags and garlands in the neo-classical style. The enamel has all been highlihted and outlined with a narrow border of white enamel set next to an outer row of sterling silver laurel leaves. The set consists of a hand mirror, a hair brush, a comb and a lovely etched crystal perfume bottle. The pattern of the etching continues the neo-classical theme and features tall baskets overflowing with blossoms and set into oval shapes surrounded by flower garlands. This charming scene has been repeated on all the enamel items except for the comb. Both sides of the comb have been decoreted with double flower garlands but do not show the basket motif. The stopper on the perfume bottle is clearly marked with a pattern number and the words "Sterling" and "The Gorham Co." This is a lovely set which would make a pretty addition to any dressing table.   Price: $3,500.00   Stock #AY740
