This is the really fine French "faux" or fake iv ry, which is called French iv ry and is actually a superior grace of celluloid that has both the heaviness and cool-to-touch feel of real iv ry, but it is not. The quality is superb, all brushes are boar bristle, some very soft, indeed. No evidence it was ever used, but we've completely sanitized the set in any case. The old box does show age, but perhaps you'll just want these gorgeous old Art Deco pieces on a tray in your dressing room.  The 8 undamaged pieces have no staining or loss. They have that matching incised and blue-filled monogram. A glove stretcher helps us date the set to about c.1900, turn of the Belle Epoch century.  The iv ry-topped jars shown in final photo are not included, but shown from my own collections so you can see how closely this set mimics finest antique iv ry.
Very good to excellent on all 8 pieces, still in the old presentation case which is all that really shows some of its 120 or so years of age. These are heavy in the hand, dense and not lightweight inferior pieces. I actually did a hot needle test just to be absolutely positive the set is not natural iv ry. Can you imagine it on your dressing table or in the Master bath. Either masculine or feminine, and clean!
Return Policy:
We always honor a 3-day return on our items, and guarantee them to be as described. Money back, less shipping costs, which are not refundable, so ask questions if necessary. We're easy to deal with.
Shipping and Handling Policy:
You are very important! Our fine inventory is very important. And your ranking of our performance is also very important! We wish to keep our 4.9 - 5 star ratings in all categories. Customer satisfaction is paramount with us, so if you're thinking we have not deserved your highest marks, please contact us and allow us to be sure your concerns are completely satisfied before you rank us. We aim for 5-star transactions every day, and depend upon you to tell us directly if we have not yet met that standard for your transaction. Thank you! We most often use USPS for our shipping needs but will be happy to ship by another carrier if you prefer.
We charge only actual postage & insurance, never a handling fee and never for packaging materials. Ebay is now requiring that our clients rank us on "shipping". The shipping price, speed and handling are actually under the sole control of the delivering postal agency, not Antiques & Uncommon Treasure so please remember that and leave us high DSR rankings. As always, please also feel free to contact us if you have any problems or concerns, we'll do what we can to ensure a happy and mutually enjoyable transaction.
Insurance has been eliminated as an option by ebay, forcing us sellers to either ship your items without insurance or assume that expense also. We always insure our items BUT, more importantly, pack them extremely well knowing that most are not replaceable. Again, damage in transit, while rare in our experience, is due to the postal agency handling and not caused by Antiques & Uncommon Treasure. Please remember that when leaving DSR ratings. Thanks!
Our shipping days are Tuesday and Friday, paid items will be shipped on the first shipping day after payment is received (except when special circumstances exist). We prefer to use USPS whenever possible, and require all packages to be insured. If you prefer another method of shipment, please mention it. We charge only actual expense of shipment/insurance, except in the case of larger items which must have special wood crates built. Wood crate charge, when applicable, is a flat .00 in addition to actual postage & insurance charges.
Other Information:
8.75% sales tax applicable as of April 1st, 2009 for shipments & sales within the state of California, no exceptions. If you are within CA and are a dealer buying for resale, you must provide us your active resale certificate # and acknowledgment of intent to resell or we will have to collect sales tax.
