The handle tapers toward the brush and is decorated with raised scrolls, small flowers and leafy trails around a plain central panel, with a ribbed collar where it meets the head. Brushes like this came in dresser and grooming sets. The long, narrow row of soft bristles suggests a moustache or grooming brush. It would suit a vanity tray, a dresser set or a collection of antique grooming items.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBackground\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSilver-handled grooming brushes were made as part of dresser and travel sets in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and their brush heads were often replaced over the years. The handle is marked STERLING near the collar, with no maker's mark. The brush head is marked JAPAN and was most likely fitted to the handle at a later date. The material of the head and bristles has not been tested.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsed condition.
