Vintage Art Nouveau Kate Harris Silver Hair Brush.

Lovely very rare Art Nouveau Kate Harris hair brush in good condition but does have some small dents etc, please study pictures.

The brush had the correct serial number stamped on it but the silver hallmarks have rubbed off over time.

The brush was part of a bathroom set from around the 1900s as can be seen in the last picture.

I have seen a similar design and sized mirror from the same maker selling for over £1600 currently online!

Info I've found online added below.

This is continental European art nouveau at its very best – but by really the only British designer who seemed both artistically and commercially able to pull it off in the United Kingdom.

The mirrare in excellent original condition with some rubbing to the marks.   Hutton registered this design for a toilet set on 6th May 1902 – see images.

Kate Harris was employed by the London studio of William Hutton & Sons to produce artistic silver from 1899 to c 1905.  Harris was one of the very few women, or British exhibitors, to win recognition at the 1900 Paris International Exhibition.  At the Paris Exhibition all her and Hutton’s work was displayed on the stand of the Goldsmiths and Silversmiths company.

For more information on Kate Harris, see Professor Stephen Pudney’s articles on her in the Decorative Arts Society Journal Vol 22 “A marriage of art and commerce: Kate Harris and the arts and crafts silverware of William Hutton & Sons” and Vol 39 “Katie Harris: Mystery Woman of English Art Nouveau”.
