    Hi,

    Wondering if anybody has any information on this brush and mirror set I picked up at an antique shop. The wood behind the brushes bristles says Made In England. Specific questions I have are: Is the back hand painted? How do I tell this? What is its $ worth?

    Thank you

    Pretty set :)
    There are a few online albeit with slightly different handles. I suspect they are prints of some sort rather than hand painted.

    Or maybe in the style of Degas, rather than prints of a Degas painting?

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I agree that they are more likely to have prints rather than hand painting on them. Very pretty set, with the more elaborate handles and frames.
