A dressing table object of genuine elegance, this English 20th century hair brush is centered on a circular mirrored face — its reflective surface framed by delicate filigree volute motifs that coil outward from a hand-painted floral medallion at the center. The combination of silvered mirror, fine scrollwork, and painted decoration places this firmly in the tradition of English toiletry accessories made for the discerning dressing table: objects intended to be beautiful at rest and beautiful in the hand.
The brass handle extends gracefully from the brush head, its entire length worked with delicate foliage that draws the eye from base to tip, unifying the object's decorative program in a single continuous gesture. The warm golden tone of the brass reads as a pleasing contrast against the cool silver of the mirror, while the painted medallion — floral, feminine, precise — provides a focused point of ornamental interest at the center of the composition. Well-made and well-proportioned, the piece sits with authority among silver-handled dressing sets and antique accessories of comparable quality.
A lovely accent for any dressing table, vanity tray, or collector's arrangement, this brush also makes a striking display object in a bedroom or bath — particularly effective in groupings with period mirrors, scent bottles, or other English toiletware. Length: 9.25".
