Click to view additional photos

Here is a smart and stylish English sterling silver and blue guilloche enamel 5-piece dressing table set in the Art Deco style. The set consists of an elegant hand mirror, 2 hair brushes and a pair of clothes brushes. The pieces all have the sleekly elegant streamlined shape which defines Art Deco, but the addition of gently curving lines at the corners has cleverly added a subtle touch of softness and femininty while still retaining the essential elements of the Art Deco form. The guilloche enamel is a beautifully saturated shade of a vibrant blue coloration and the engine-turned design skillfully radiates outwards in a form reminiscent of a rising or setting sun, and ever-popular Art Deco motif. The beauty of this almost 3-dimensional effect coupled with the distinctive contrast between the sterling silver and the lovely blue coloration of the enamel makes for a most attractive and sophisticated addition to any dressing table. The individual pieces are all in excellent condition and each has been stamped with a set of English hallmarks which show that the set was made in Birmingham in 1931. A registration number and the name A Bro. Ltd are also visible. This is a very stylish set and would please any connosseur of fine quality Art Deco.   Price: $1,150.00 set   Stock #BA445
