Description: Free eBay listing template designed by dewiso.com Exquisite Late 19th Century Ivoroid Vanity Box Dresser Set – Victorian Era Antique Item Description:Step back in time with this breathtaking late 19th-century Victorian vanity box, featuring a stunning Ivoroid mirror and brush set encased in an equally ornate, hand-painted decorative box. This delicate piece, with intricate floral designs and gold accents, is believed to have been crafted from Ivoroid, a high-quality synthetic material designed to imitate ivory. Ivoroid was a popular choice during this period due to its smooth, slightly glossy finish, closely resembling real ivory, but without the modern-day restrictions on ivory sales. The mirror and brush handles showcase the artistic craftsmanship of the era, with subtle engravings and an elegant floral motif that have stood the test of time. The brush bristles are original and are in remarkable condition for their age. While the mirror has naturally aged, showing signs of wear that add to the vintage charm, it remains a beautiful testament to the craftsmanship of the Victorian era. The box itself is a true work of art. Measuring 11" long x 6.5" wide x 4" tall and weighing nearly 2 lbs (1 lb 15 oz), it features a beautifully detailed brass-accented cover. The central brass motif is a heraldic shield flanked by elegant scrollwork and floral patterns, symbolizing the grandeur of the time. The surrounding artwork, a delicate painting of a mother and child, is framed by lush greenery, adding a sentimental touch to this already magnificent piece. The interior is lined with luxurious pink satin, molded perfectly to cradle the mirror and brush. The hinge flaps, with their hammered metal design, are another indicator of the late 19th-century craftsmanship. This set would make a stunning addition to any antique collection or a thoughtful gift for someone with a passion for Victorian history.
