Description
A superb and unusual example of a silver handled moustache brush, presented here in the original box. The elegant gentleman of the early 20th century rejoiced in the fashion for facial hair, much like the young men of today.
These were luxury items, owned and used by gentlemen of means and personal grooming was high on the list of priorities. The silver handle has restrained decoration and is fully hallmarked. The horsehair bristles are unworn, suggesting that as it was a boxed gift item, it was rarely if ever used.
A perfect gift idea for today's 'elegant gentleman'.
