    ANTIQUE 9" GORHAM HAIRBRUSH WITH INTENSELY REPOUSSE FLORAL DESIGN.

    CENTER MONOGRAMMED BELIEVED LMK
    Has been polished by me but could be cleaned better by a professional silver person and will absolutely GLOW.
    925 sterling silver; high silver value
    Fine repousse hairbrush in collectible display condition.
    THERE IS ONE ROUGH SPOT near the THROAT OF BRUSH HEAD THAT WILL REQUIRE SILVER SOLDER OR FILING TO FEEL PERFECT BUT DOES NOT IMPACT DISPLAYABILITY.
    PHOTOS ARE PART OF THE DESCRIPTION
    .
    Great shape but isn't really going to brush your hair too easily as bristles aren't super stiff.
    Would LIKELY brush fine baby's hair.
    Expect the wear and tear of being over 100 years old and treated with care but used.
    Having looked at bunches of antique brushes on etsy, ebay and other auctions sites, I think this is the prettiest example of a repousse brush that you will likely find.
    THANKS FOR LOOKING. NO RETURNS SO PLEASE BID WITH
    CARE AND ONLY WHAT IT IS WORTH TO YOU.
