This handsome and like new, dark green leather vanity and manicure set is in the shape of a squared triangular, is dated back to the 50's due to the materials used. It has everyting you need for those early morning ablutions on the road.

The leather, glass jars and lids and other tools are in perfect condition with some minor wear on the outside of the case. Heavy white thread stiching throughout. The heavy metal zipper works great. A barely used handle on the top works perfectly to carry it easily. Very few minor leather rubbings on the corners and edges of the case. barely noticeable.


open link Bond Street Jewel Case Corporation Faux Leather Wood Jewelry Box

 This large beautiful creamy colored off white wood base with faux leather top, Jewelry case is all lined in elegant red velvet. Very elegant!

First the center opens. In this section, there are 2 compartment trays and 4 ring slots.
Then the 2 sides open next that reveal 3 compartment trays. Below these pop outs are 3 large compartments in the mid-section. They are 8.5 x 4, and 8.5 x 5, in the very middle. The hidden drawer on bottom has 2 large compartments 8.5 x 3.5. and 12 2 x 2 sqares for earrings. The overall measurements are 15 x 10 x 6

While this piece is in very good condition, there are a few things to mention. There are a few creasing indents in the velvet from the previous owners jewelry. Also, the slightly padded faux leather, which is only on the top, has a very thin slit on the mid-section. For this reason, if one didn't want to just leave it as is, as it is not a big gash, I think this would be a perfect canditate for some upcycling. As the tops could very easily be reupholstered with some nice fabric of your choice and a good glue gun. One could get away with even just doing the center (where the slit is, seen in the pic) and leaving the side tops as contrasting, as they are very nice.

Antique Heirloom Wooden MC Monagrammed Hand Mirror open link

Beautiful wood frame and handle. Lovely hand carved garlands and bows decorate this beauty. MC for Mary C., which were her Mothers initials too....they were her Mother's Mothers initials as well!

There is 1 flaw in the wood frame, which was either done at the time of its creation or was done later and re-lacquered. Because it is all thouroughly lacquered. The flaw can be seen in the close up of the handle. The flaw? It has lost one of its dainty curls at the base of the morror..it has been completely resealed and or varnished.

You can see the glass is vintage and has some little black marks around the beveled rim, only due to age. You can also see a few minor scratches on the glass. However in that same picture you can see the true brilliance and beauty of this beveled work of art. 9 x 4

It is wonderful to hold it in your hand and think of all the pretty hands that have held it before.

Beautiful!

But, after all, we are a young nation, and vanity is a fault of youth. Rebecca H. Davis

But It is oh so fun...all the pretty things!
