This gorgeous French manicure set was made by a top
firm called Nogent, probably in the 1930s or 40s. The strikingly art
deco stand is made from chrome, as are the blades on the tools that
make up the set. The tall U-shaped stand has a stepped top rail in
classic Odeon style, carrying 9 metal hooks. Suspended from these
are five manicure tools, including a nail file etc, and small pairs
of two different nail scissors hang at each end. There is a small
support on the plinth for a buffer, though this is missing. The handles
of the tools, and two decorative circular attachments on the stand,
are made from some kind of early marbled plastic, possibly catalin.
The whole effect is very Hollywood Star's dressing table! Condition
overal is excellent, The set is in very good condition; the stand
shows some signs of over-polishing on the surface, but this is not
too noticeable. In all other respects the set is fine, the chrome
on the tools is in very good order, and the scissors are sharp and
clean.
