Gorham Sterling Silver Mounted Red Vanity Comb

Gorham sterling silver mounted vanity comb, early 20th century, with a translucent red comb set into a sterling spine worked in scrolling floral relief in the Rococo Revival taste. Silver-mounted grooming pieces of this kind were made for the dressing table through the Edwardian period and into the 1920s, and Gorham examples are collected for the maker's name and quality of chasing. Suited to a vanity vignette or a silver collection.
