Antique Silver Plate Pink Enamel Dressing Table Set
This lot is an antique silver plate dressing table set with a pink enamel finish and engine turned decoration. The set comprises three pieces: a larger item with a broad, fan-shaped head and a long tapering handle, a clothes brush with a rounded oblong head, and a hair brush with a shaped head and bristles. Each piece is decorated with fine engine turned patterns, including radiating sunburst lines and wave motifs, across the pale pink enamel, with silver-toned borders framing the edges.
Condition, Originality and Collector Interest
The enamel appears largely intact across the visible surfaces, and the pale pink finish retains its sheen. The bristles on both brushes show some discolouration and light wear consistent with age and use, and the handles show minor handling marks. Buyers are encouraged to contact the saleroom for further details or to request additional photographs before bidding. The combination of engine turned patterning and pink enamel will appeal to collectors of enamelled dressing table ware and those seeking a period vanity set.
