Antique Silver Christening Set

1900 - 1920
Description

A lovely antique silver vanity set in its original fitted case. This small set was commonly given as a Christening gift. It is a stylish and good quality set and each piece is hallmarked for London, 1927 and the maker Goldsmiths & Silversmiths.

The set is in very good condition. It would have originally had a comb with it but it still displays well. There are some minor signs of age and use, some small dinks and surface marks but nothing detrimental. They have been lightly cleaned and polished and are ready for use.

The box is good quality with a silk lining and fitted velvet sections to hold each piece. The retailer's name is in gilt lettering on the lining. There are some minor marks and some small scuffs around the outside but nothing major and it displays well.

Approximate Measurements :

Box : 5" / 13cm square

Mirror : 6" / 15cm long x 2 3/4" / 7cm wide

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

This Edwardian vanity set comprises an antique silver christening set dating to 1927, supplied in a blue presentation case with silver-mounted brushes and natural bristles. The hinged box has a silk-lined lid, fitted grey velvet interior sections, and a small clasp hardware closure at the back, showing minor scuffs and marks to the blue exterior. Each piece has silver mounts and pale yellowish bristles, with minor dinks and surface marks indicative of light age and use. Measuring 13 cm wide by 13 cm deep, this compact ensemble suits placement on a bedroom bedside table, dressing table or display shelf in an English Country House interior. The arrangement includes an oval hairbrush and a rectangular clothes brush, displayed within fitted velvet slots inside the folding box for decorative accent and historical display.

FAQs

An antique silver christening set typically comprises silver-mounted personal grooming items, such as hairbrushes or combs, presented in a custom fitted velvet or silk-lined box as a traditional gift for infants.

These sets commonly feature sterling silver or silver-plated mounts over natural timber or bone brush bases, fitted with natural animal bristles, and housed in leatherette or paperboard cases lined with silk and velvet.

Authentic silver pieces generally display official hallmarks or makers marks indicating purity, assay office location, and date letters, along with natural signs of age such as light surface oxidisation and wear to the interior fabric.

A cased silver set can be styled open on a bedroom dressing table, a bedside table, or within a glass display cabinet to add historical texture and reflective metal accents to a modern room scheme.

Silver components should be gently cleaned with a dedicated silver polishing cloth, avoiding direct contact with natural bristles or internal fabrics, while the case should be kept dry and stored away from direct sunlight.
