London 1898 Lovely Tortoiseshell and Solid Silver Inlaid Hair Brush by Famous Maker William Comyns.

19th century
Description

London 1898 English hallmarked solid silver and tortoiseshell hairbrush by famous maker William Comyns, renowned maker of such luxury items.

With a leafy gadrooned border, interlinked bands on the edges and intricate solid silver pique inlay including musical trophies and harebells, this is a special piece. The tortoiseshell has wonderful dark and blonde colour, and lovely patina, and is even found on the underside of the hairbrush, a touch only found on the finest pieces.

This is part of a large dressing table set acquired, which includes a large hand mirror, two hairbrushes, two clothes brushes and a comb, if more pieces are desired. See listings.

Size-10.25 inches long by 3.5 inches wide.

Weight-177 grams.

A beautiful piece to use or display, or to give as a great antique gift, made by a superior maker.

With a very old beautifully crafted and engraved small strengthening silver plaque to the handle as seen, this in very good condition overall.

Declaration

Serpentine Antiques has dated this piece to the 1890s.
