Romantic Hand-Painted Gilt Filigree Vanity Mirror and Brush Set With Courting Scenes

A beautiful expression of romance and refinement, this exquisite hand-painted vanity mirror and brush set captures the elegance of a bygone era. Each piece is adorned with delicate hand-painted courting scenes, framed within soft ivory grounds and surrounded by intricate gilt filigree ornamentation. The mirror and brush are richly embellished with ornate gilt handles, finely worked with graceful detail that speaks to exceptional craftsmanship. The hand-painted medallions evoke the poetic charm of 18th-century romantic scenes, lending the set a timeless femininity and quiet luxury.

Designed to grace an elegant dressing table, this set transforms the daily ritual of beauty into something far more intimate and meaningful. The mirror is beveled, the set is unmarked, most likely it was made by Apollo Studios, or one of the other premier makers of fine lady's accessories in the early 1900's. Small amount of discoloration on the silk, as shown. Whether displayed on a vanity or added to a collection of fine antique accessories, it offers both decorative beauty and historical presence. A rare and evocative treasure, embodying the romance and artistry of antique boudoir objects. 

Collector’s Note: Complete hand-painted vanity sets with original gilt filigree and romantic figural scenes are increasingly scarce and especially prized for their decorative and collectible appeal. 

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