Vintage Victorian Revival 3-Piece Cameo Vanity Set

This is a vintage three-piece vanity set, featuring a hairbrush, hand mirror, and clothes brush. The set exemplifies the Victorian Revival style, likely dating from the mid-20th century (circa 1950s-1960s). The primary aesthetic feature is a large, oval, three-dimensional cameo portrait depicting a classic Greco-Roman female profile. This white bust is set against a dark contrasting background and encased within a decorative repoussé-style gold-tone metal frame with ornate scrolled edges. The backs of the items are covered in a fine cream-colored floral lace or mesh material, protected by a layer of clear celluloid or early plastic. The metal components appear to be a gold-wash or brass-plated base metal, showing a significant aged patina and darkening around the rims. The construction involves a pressed metal frame securing the decorative backing and the functional elements (bristles and mirror glass). Condition issues are evident, including surface scratches on the protective clear covers, noticeable oxidation and verdigris on the metal edges, and yellowing of the lace consistent with age. The nylon or natural bristles of the brush show some discoloration and wear along the wooden or plastic base. Such sets were popular bridal gifts and dressing table accessories during the mid-century period.
