Lot 293:
English Art Deco Silver and Guilloche Enamel Vanity Dressing Set
Description
A refined Art Deco five-piece English silver-mounted vanity Dressing set by Turner & Simpson Ltd, each element decorated with vivid turquoise blue guilloché enamel over an engine-turned ground. The ensemble comprises a clothes brush, nail buffer, nail file, cuticle tool, and button hook, all unified by their luminous enamel surfaces and polished silver mounts.
The enamel exhibits a finely executed sunburst guilloché pattern beneath translucent turquoise enamel, producing a vibrant optical depth characteristic of high-quality interwar British silverwork. The mounts display clean, geometric lines consistent with Art Deco design of the 1920s.
