A Collection of Vintage and Antique Objects of Vertu and Desk Accessories including a Symphony Musical Piano-Form Compact - A collection of vintage and antique objects of vertu and personal accessories. Included is a vintage novelty musical powder compact by Symphony, designed in the form of a grand piano. The gilt-metal body features engine-turned sunburst and star patterns on the lid with a scrolled decorative border. It stands on three cabriole legs with a lyre-form pedal support. The interior reveals a secondary hinged lid covering the powder compartment, marked with a G-clef and Symphony script. An antique hardwood travel case, suitable for writing instruments such as nibs or pencils, features a sliding top panel and a small side-hinged door for accessory storage. A teardrop-shaped pill box in silver-toned white metal is decorated with repoussé and chased scrolling foliage, set with an oval green cabochon stone to the lid. Several sewing thimbles are present: one silver-toned with engraved floral motifs and an illegible mark, an antique white metal example with heavy wear and punctures, and a decorative example featuring a crushed turquoise-coloured ground with mother-of-pearl floral inlays.
