Hairbrush c. 1930

"Hairbrush" is a silver-plated comb set designed by Emmy Roth, a prominent American silversmith, around 1930. The set is composed of a circular tray with two round hairbrushes and a comb, a sleek and minimalist design characteristic of the Art Deco movement. It reflects the functional and geometric aesthetic prevalent in the early 20th century, showcasing the artist's mastery in crafting functional and elegant objects. The piece, currently part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art collection, exemplifies the transition from traditional silverwork to a more modern and streamlined approach to design.
