Lot 106: A Collection of Victorian Style Gilt Metal and Glass Desk Accessories with Quilted Fabric Insets
An assortment of Victorian style vanity or desk accessories comprising a rectangular tray and several glass containers. The tray is constructed with a gilt-metal frame featuring star-motif borders and ornate openwork filigree handles, enclosing a glass top over light green diamond-quilted fabric. The collection includes several glass vessels with gilt-metal mounts: one larger circular jar with a matching fabric-inset lid, and two smaller jars or inkwells featuring heavy, decorative metal caps embossed with foliate designs. No maker’s marks are visible on the surfaces; the items are marked with orange lot stickers.
Condition report:
