Stunning Antique Sterling Silver 21 Piece Vanity Set in Velvet Lined Case | Bone Small Brush Heads | Horse Hair Bristles | Bixley Shop
While it may look unassuming on the outside, this vanity set is a real stunner inside. It includes 21 pieces (20 in a matching pattern, one shoe horn is in a different pattern). Most of the pieces are monogrammed "HEL". We decided not to polish the silver because we love the look of the vintage patina. The brushes have original horse hair bristles, there's even some scented talc in one of the jars! One small pair of scissors has "J.A.Henkels Twin Works Germany" on the blades (see photos)
This appears to be a full set - no empty spaces in the case, but the nail file is missing the file end and the boot hook has some rust on the hook end, one of the small brushes has lost almost a full row of bristles, and one handle on the small scissors is loose.
