Product Description
An elegant Edwardian sterling silver manicure set comprising a finely detailed nail file and matching embroidery-style scissors, crafted by the renowned maker Charles S Green & Co and hallmarked Birmingham, 1906.
Beautifully proportioned and rich in delicate detail, the set reflects the refinement of early 20th-century personal accessories, when even the smallest dressing table objects were created with craftsmanship and ornamentation in mind. The ornate handles feature graceful floral and scroll motifs, lending the pieces both decorative charm and practical function.
Measuring approximately 11 cm in length, the set presents beautifully with gentle age-related wear consistent with time and careful use. A wonderfully tactile and display-worthy piece, it would sit beautifully within a dressing table arrangement, sewing collection, or vanity display.
Pieces such as these were often treasured personal possessions, carried within vanity cases or displayed upon finely arranged dressing tables, reflecting the quiet routines of another era.
Each piece in our collection carries the subtle marks of time, adding to its authenticity and charm. Any notable details are thoughtfully included in the description and imagery. Should you wish to see more, we are always happy to assist.
If This Piece Could Talk…
Perhaps this delicate set once rested upon a finely arranged Edwardian dressing table, beside silver-backed brushes, a small hand mirror and a favourite bottle of scent. Used in the quiet rituals of daily care, it speaks of a time when even the most practical personal objects were made with beauty, ornament and grace.
The gentle age-related wear and finely worked silver detail give this set a quiet intimacy — a reminder of the hands that once held it, the rooms it belonged to, and the small, elegant routines that formed part of another era.
