Description

Antique Art Nouveau era 1890-1910 ebony wood brush and hand mirror set with applied sterling silver art nouveau lady. The woman is flower like, blooming out of what looks like an orchid, she is brushing her hair and looking in a hand mirror. Both pieces are marked genuine ebony and a tiny written out "sterling" on the scroll just below the flower. In very nice condition. The wood has some dry looking spots  and a few scuffs but overall looks nice. The sterling silver plaques are excellent. The beveled glass mirror is original to the piece and in very good condition considering the age. The mirror shows few specks to the back silvering around the edge and a triangle shaped spot on the edge where the silvering has worn. Hand mirror measures 9 1/4" by just over 5" wide. The brush measures 8 3/4" by 2 1/4" wide. Brush is some kind of natural material, a few stains on the bristles and in one spot they are cut shorter.
