A little gem from yesteryear, this miniature toiletry set contains all the charm and refinement of the 19th century. Its small size indicates that it was an object of pleasure or luxury, used for the maintenance of these gentlemen's moustaches.

It consists of a natural bristle brush, mounted on an ivory handle covered with silver chased with an Art Deco motif, accompanied by a small accessory — probably a toothpick — slipped into its case of variegated silk, with red, green and gold reflections.

A delicate and graceful travel treasure preserved in an Asian-inspired silk case, a blend of styles common during the Belle Époque.
