French Palais Vanity Piece

This style of vanity set became popular in the late 19th century in France, particularly during the Victorian era, reflecting the increased emphasis on personal grooming and elaborate decorative arts. These sets were often made with a combination of materials, including glass, metal, and enamel, showcasing the craftsmanship of the period. The use of cranberry glass, known for its rich red hue achieved by adding gold to the glass mixture, was a hallmark of luxury items during this time. The fittings are gold ormulu. The perfume bottles are crystal and may be Baccarat, although unmarked. Fantastic condition.
