2060

An Elizabeth II Silver, Gilt-Metal and Enamel Ladies Vanity-Set
by Henry Clifford Davis, Birmingham, 1953

each piece enamelled with flowers and foliage on a white enamel ground, all over engine-turning, comprising: an oblong cigarette-case; a circular compact; a silver and gilt-metal lipstick holder and a silver-mounted Ronson lighter

the compact 90mm diameter

Sold for £350
Estimated at £120 - £180


 

The cigarette-case marked inside base and part marked inside cover. The compact marked inside base. The marks on the cover are presumably under the mirror. The cigarette-lighter part marked on one side. The lipstick holder part marked on cover and inside cover. The marks on the cigarette-case and compact are clear. There is wear to the marks on the other pieces, particularly the lighter where the marks are only partially visible. There is generally some surface scratching and wear, consistent with age and use to the silver and the enamel. The light currently does not function properly, though may just require a flint and lighter fluid. The base of the lipstick holder is gilt-metal while the cover is silver.
