SALE Stunning Large sterling silver Dresser Set by Blackinton

Silver : Antique : Vanity Pieces

 

This is a massive, 8 piece, sterling silver dresser or vanity set by R. Blackinton. There is a 10 1/2" long hand mirror, 9" brush, 8 1/2" comb, 6" nail buffer, 8 3/4" shoe horn, 1" button hook, 6" knife type thing, 5 1/2" file. The pieces are all gorgeous! The file, knife, button hook, comb and shoe horn are sterling handled. The "business end" of the nail buffer is leather covered. The pattern on each piece features an opulent chased swirling foliate design with fancy border. Each piece also has an ornate monogram, looks like E G M. This set has been lovingly uses, and each piece has shallow dings, most noticeable on the edges. The comb is loose in its handle and may be a replacement comb. The shoe horn is slightly loose in its handle as well and shakes when rattled. The file is snapped off, and the knife blade has a couple of nicks. The leather on the buffer is worn. The mirror and brush are an unusual shape. The mirror is beveled. There is a small crack in it but no other problems. In spite of all these "issues", this is a fabulous set, unusually large and beautiful!
