An Art Deco shaving set comprises three sterling silver cylinders with super engine-turned decoration, housed in an original fitted case with a black exterior. The interior features a white silk or satin lid lining, a dark velvet base compartment holding the canisters, and a dark box rim with a black clasp at the front edge. Each cylinder is hallmarked for London 1936 by maker Joseph Gloster Limited, holds a Bakelite liner, and measures 8 cm in height with a 4.2 cm diameter. The exterior of the box shows wear commensurate with age and use, while the interior fabrics remain clean and well preserved. This functional antique suit for a bathroom counter setting brings period character to daily grooming routines. It functions as a decorative display piece or a usable gentleman's accessory, keeping razors, shaving brushes, and shaving soap sticks organized inside their matching cylinders. The compact presentation box opens to reveal the bright silver metalwork against contrasting soft fabrics, making it suitable for placement on a vanity or shelf within a traditional or modern interior.

FAQs

Art Deco silver shaving sets from the 1920s and 1930s typically feature geometric silhouettes, engine-turned linear patterns, and fitted presentation cases designed for travel or dressing table storage.

These sets generally feature solid sterling silver or silver-plated canisters with engine-turned engraving, housed inside cases made from wood or leatherette with satin and velvet linings.

Authentic pieces carry official makers marks, purity stamps, and date letters stamped into the silver body, alongside geometric, non-floral motifs typical of early 20th-century design.

A fitted silver set can be displayed open on a bathroom counter, a gentlemans dressing table, or integrated into decorative shelf displays alongside period accessories.

Silver canisters should be polished periodically with a soft silver cloth to remove oxidisation, while the fabric lining of the case should be kept dry and dusted with a soft brush.
