RARE Ivory (pre-ban) Tiffany Men's 6-Piece Dresser Set
Incredibly rare item. This is a beautiful set including a tray, clothes brush, smaller brush, button hook, manicure file and shoe horn.
According to the information I can find, this set was probably made between 1873-1891, which coincides with the height of the whaling industry. The tray and the manicure file are marked "Tiffany & Co" with the number 983 next to it.
Each piece is engraved with the initials PCZ. It appears they were originally in blue.
The clothes brush is approximately 7.25" long and 1.25" wide. The manicure file is 7.25" long and the file is slightly bent at the end. The buttonhook is 8" long. The second brush is 8.25" and the tray is 7.25" and 3.50". The shoehorn is 8.5" long and 1.5" wide.
It has the expected age crazing and a lovely warm yellow patina. The button hook has a hairline crack and the shoehorn has 3 short hairline cracks and the edge of the shoehorn is rough.
The imperfections are what would be expected in this type of set that had been gently used.
Circa: 1873-1891
Condition: Excellent
Manufacturer: Tiffany
