Antique UNGER BROS. Hair Brush LOVE'S DREAM

ANTIQUE (C. 1890's) & VERY FINE, HEAVILY EMBOSSED STERLING SILVER HAIR BRUSH BY UNGER BROS. -LOVE'S DREAM- PATTERN

This auction is for an antique (ca 1890's), extremely fine and very difficult to find embossed Sterling silver ladies hair brush by UNGER BROS. in their early and highly decorative LOVE'S DREAM pattern. Design  of brush shows a cupid lightly kissing the lips of a sleeping maiden. There are other wonderful designs incorporated in this pattern (heavy foliates and scrolls, a triton masks, and a Medusa Head, among others). Portrayed with the strictest attention to realistic details.  A popular subject of the VICTORIAN era. This very fine and desirable vanity accesory was found in a local Pasadena estate, along with other pieces I am listing in this same pattern on ebay. Crafted from light / medium gauge Sterling silver, brush measures 9" long x 2 3/4" wide (widest part) and is marked with manufacturer's trademark & Sterling. Sports no monograms or removals, no areas of unsightly damage or repairs; just light surface scratches and tarnish commensurate with age and use (please note a couple of pin-sized holes are to be found on high surfaces caused by polishing) and silver cover has separated from brush section around the top section. A great opportunity to add this fabuluos vanity piece to your collection of fine Unger Bros. Sterling silver is being offered for a low opening bid and no reserve. Please note a piece like this would bring in several 100 dollars when found in other venues. Thank you.
