Silvercraft Vanity Set

 This rare and luxurious Silvercraft gilt brass jeweled ormolu vanity dresser set is an extraordinary example of early 20th-century design and craftsmanship. Featuring intricate filigree work and vibrant jewel accents, this six-piece collection is both visually stunning and functional, making it a true treasure for collectors of vintage vanity items.

The set includes a glass-lined lidded powder dish, measuring 4 1/2 inches wide by 3 1/2 inches high. Its gilt brass exterior is adorned with detailed filigree and sparkling jewels, perfectly framing the practical glass interior. The comb, measuring 7 3/4 inches long by 2 1/2 inches wide, is similarly decorated, its ornate design elevating even the simplest grooming task.

A highlight of the set is the perfume atomizer, which stands an impressive 9 1/2 inches high and 2 3/4 inches deep. While the glass tube remains intact, the bulb is missing, leaving an opportunity for restoration to its original elegance. The hairbrush, measuring 13 1/2 inches long by 3 1/2 inches wide, features a gilt brass back with jewel accents, showcasing Silvercraft's meticulous attention to detail.

The hand mirror, at 17 inches long and 4 3/4 inches wide, is both substantial and exquisite. Its generous size and ornate design make it a striking centerpiece, reflecting the glamour of its time. Completing the set is the vanity tray, measuring 13 3/4 inches long by 7 inches wide. The tray features a unique design with a lace doily and petitpoint embroidery encased between two panes of glass, creating an elegant display surface.

This six-piece set captures the refined beauty and sophistication of vintage Silvercraft pieces, with its combination of intricate filigree, jewel embellishments, and practical design. It is a rare find, embodying the opulence and artistry of a bygone era.

Antique Celluloid Hair Comb Ormolu Red Green Blue Glass Jewels

Antique 1920s Hair Comb Red Green Jeweled Ormolu Celluloid Apollo Vintage Vanity Art Deco Boudoir.

The hair comb is made up of cast white metal garnished with a gilded finish (looks to be redone at some point). It is fitted with amber celluloid comb and features red, green and blue glass jewels. The handle displays scrolling motifs. Measures: 8 " long x 1 ¼" wide. I am pretty sure this is from Apollo, but I have never found a comb marked with the name.

This is an item from my personal collection of jeweled filigree vanity accessories dating to the 1920s period. All photos are my own.
