| This is an exceptional American sterling silver 11-piece vanity set which incorporates all the essential decorative elements of Art Nouveau into a spectacular showcase for the dressing table.
The entire surface area on each of the pieces has been lavishly and expertly decorated with all the distinctive characteristics of this sensuous and exuberant style.
The face of a lovely young woman graces each piece, her long flowing hair intertwining with swirling tendrils topped by glorious wind-blown flowers before sinuously wrapping around each of the handle.
The sense of movement and nature has been skillfully captured by the extremely high quality of the craftsmanship.
The set is in excellent condition and contains the following items; a hand mirror, a hair brush, a comb, a large and a small clothes brush, a hat brush, a pin tray, a nail buffer, a nail file, a shoe horn and a button hook.
A set consisting of so many pieces is hard to come by.
The pieces are all stamped with a pattern number, the word Sterling and the mark of William B. Kerr & Co. of Newark, N.J.
They have also been stamped with the words Pat'd Dec. 10'01.
This is a truly wonderful set, the very epitome of art Nouveau at its very best. Price: $2,500.00 Stock #AV310 |
