This Antique Edwardian set of hand-held Mirror & Brush is a rare find 

and a fascinating piece of the early XX century history of England

 

Both items feature a sterling silver mounted frame

with tortoiseshell backing,

finely decorated with delicate silver piqué inlay in a neoclassical design

of garlands, ribbons, and a central classical medallion. 

 

The style is reflecting the refined neoclassical revival aesthetic 

popular circa 1890–1910. 

 

The silver mount bears English hallmarks,

including the lion passant for sterling silver, 

London assay office mark, along with a date letter and 

maker’s mark“W.C.” for William Comyns

 

It forms part of a high-quality English vanity set, 

appreciated for its elegant materials, piqué workmanship, and period craftsmanship.

 

Hand-held mirror frame is missing a mirror & there’s a minor damage to the brush’s handle. AF.
