FAQs

Art Deco dressing table items emerged during the 1920s and 1930s, reflecting a modern, streamlined aesthetic characterised by geometric forms and luxurious materials such as silver and tortoiseshell.

These pieces were typically crafted using genuine hawksbill turtle shell or synthetic equivalents combined with sterling silver mounts, often paired with glass or ceramic internal liners.

Authenticity is determined by examining hallmark stamps for assay office marks and makers initials, alongside inspecting the natural mottled patterns and warm tactile properties of genuine shell.

This type of decorative object adds refined texture when placed on a mantelpiece, dressing table, or open bookshelf as part of a curated display of vintage accessories.

Keep items out of direct sunlight to prevent warping or fading of the shell, and clean the silver components periodically using a specialist non-abrasive polish.
