This porcelain backed, antique vanity hand mirror and brush set is surely one of the better portrait sets I have offered, oh so very pretty and vibrant.

From the Art Nouveau era, turn of the 1900's, this set is transfer decorated with a full bodied portrait scene of an elegantly dressed Colonial couple.





 

  

She is so stately in her pose, as to capture his utmost attention, sweeping him literally off his feet. Their colorful and seemingly coordinated attire is simply divine, deep in purples and lavenders, as well as many other perfectly blended tones. Despite the occasional light reflection, my photos have depicted these pieces very well. This set is full of life, very appealing to the eyes and will certainly attract the lady who is a romantic at heart.  The porcelain backs are dome shaped and in extra fine damage free condition, I don't even notice a scratch. The artwork is on a white ground and overall, this set is stunning, I really like it. The little squiggly lines, toward the bottom paint on the hand mirror, are part of the artwork, there are no cracks or hairlines in the porcelain.

  

You can see from these close-up shots how really lovely this set is, I truly can't say enough about it's pleasant nature and charming subject matter. Everything about this set is delightful and the detailing to their formal costuming is impeccable. The brass rims, framing and Art Nouveau handles are truly marvelous. There are just a few minor tiny dents to the rim of the brush, otherwise the brass is fabulous and I have cleaned and polished it to the look of gold gilt. The natural bristles of the the brush show all their age but these brushes are for decorative use only and it is always such a pleasure to have an accompanying brush to sit by the hand mirror.

 

The original beveled mirror is in excellent clear condition showing only very minor signs of early aging, a perfectly fine and usable vanity piece that will hold up well to daily use, as it already has for many decades. For clarity purposes, I am showing it with the reflection of our dining table overhead leaded glass fixture. The hand mirror measures 9½ in length with a 5 inch viewing surface and the brush is proportionately a little smaller. This  antique porcelain Art Nouveau hand mirror brush dresser set is sure to be a pleaser for some fortunate lady, it has a persona of nobility and an essence of grandeur. Please consider it today, don't hesitate too long, I have not had a set like this before.
