Details

Some antique vanity pieces are simply beautiful to look at, and this charming mirror and brush set is one of them. Each piece is framed in ornate gilt filigree and decorated with hand-painted silk panels showing courting couples—a wonderfully romantic detail that makes this set feel so personal.

The beveled mirror has a lovely aged presence, and the matching brush completes the set beautifully. It is unmarked but was most likely made by Apollo Studios or another premier maker of fine ladies' accessories in the early 1900s. There is a small amount of discoloration to the silk, as shown. I can imagine this on your pretty dressing table, where you will enjoy the hand-painted courting couples and gilt filigree every day.

 

  • Measures: Mirror:13-3/4" x 6-1/2" x 3/4"; Brush: 9-1/2" x 3-7/8".

Collector’s Notes.

During the late Victorian and Edwardian years, a woman’s dressing table was both a practical part of her daily routine and a place for beautiful personal objects. Vanity accessories were made to be admired as well as used, and hand-painted silk was one of the decorative details found on finer examples.

The courting couples on this set, framed in gilt filigree and paired with the original brush, give it the kind of personal charm that makes antique vanity pieces so wonderful to collect.
