Vintage Regent of London Petit Point & Filigree 3-piece Vanity Set, c. 1950s.

Description

A lovely vanity set, patented Regent of London on the inside of the hair brush, in very good condition.

The mirror is perfect, with no foxing, and the petit point colours are still bright and beautiful, with no yellowing in these areas. The filigree has particularly attractive and intricate work, with gold and silver tones showing all around.

The set has graced a dressing table for some years, away from direct sunlight, and looked after with care. Due to downsizing, however, I would now really like to find it an appreciative new owner.

It is in excellent vintage condition. There is a slight indent on the plastic covering of the mirror, but this can only be seen by holding it up to the light. I have photographed this area, but it can hardly be seen - certainly not when the set is displayed.

Detail:
To remove the brush part of the hair brush, unscrew slightly the small knob at the end of the handle. This will loosen the tension on the rod inside and the brush will slip out of its slots. To replace this brush, settle it in place with the clasp, then tighten the little knob. If the knob is unscrewed completely this is not a problem: just carefully align the internal rod with the knob.

The clothes brush can also be removed using the brass clasp.

Measurements:
Mirror length: 36cm;
Hair brush length: 28cm;
Clothes brush: 14.5cm.

The set will be packaged securely and carefully in a nice, red (Clarins) box, shown.
