Extensive Tortoise Shell & Sterling Silver Vanity in Travel Case
About the Item
Very good to excellent condition for age and type, the outer canvas protective cover has born all the harm, apparently. It has shrunk a bit and will no longer snap over the case. The thick and excellent leather outer case is in fine condition, as is the moire silk lined interior, as you can see. And all of the English sterling and tortoise shell pique-worked vanity items are there, including the completely undamaged tortoise shell comb. The brushes have boar bristle, and are complete, and really do not appear to have been used much, if at all. There are no odors to the case or contents. The tortoise shell vanity set is just stunning, and is complete with brush and mirror, 2 elongated brushes for clothing, a comb, 2 cologne bottles and a fine powder jar. No dents or dings in silver and no flaws to the tortoise shell. The set will be fabulous on a dressing table when you're not traveling with it. Complete with the original keys (in the small silk pouch), the case will lock and handle is very good. Ready to go, or to display. One of our vanity sets was recently purchased for the set decoration of one of our favorite shows, Boardwalk Empire, so watch for it there. Likewise, this one is perfect as a prop for 1890-1930s sets.
