Thread: A georgeus couple

I´m agre with you, in the article of lummus talk about this decoration a bit later, about the fourties, but the razors were in a perfect place to conserve them intact, I forget show you the lather box, but my camera are in its first days with me and I dont use it as well as can, nevertheless the fist years os the century are for me more posible idea, thanks

Wow - those are beautiful! Truly works of art. Begs that old question, they are so nice and unique, do you use or display, or a bit of both? Either way, what a great find! Congratulations!

No cleaned no used, but I´m going to try with them, thanks

WoW, Roberto! Very nice! Congratulations on this fine pair

I'm sure Neil Miller will probably have a fair amount of info on this maker, just to throw my two pennies worth in the ring, the way the gentleman is dressed on the razor looks to be dressed like a typical Regency Man so that would put the razor in the dates between 1811 and 1820.

Yes, but Neil has not been around for a bit? Someone summon him by PM!
Those look hand-painted. I would be hesitant to do much to them at all!
I would also like to see where you found them, Roberto. A hidden compartment in a desk?
Remarkable find!

Fist tahnks sharptonn, in the sheep desks in quite common find a hydden drawer in the back to put the most valuables things the sailor (mainly a post) carry and protect them in a small place full of not quite honorable people, the robery are quite common mainly around the small objects, into this drawer I found a pocker watch gold filled, some documents dated in 1803 a ring a shave brush with an bone handle and the box with the razors, all in quite good coditions, the razors, unless a small cleaning with alcohol has the original brightness of the original polished, a bit of rush in the edge I need to solve but no more, one of them has a crash in the ivory near the pin, provabli contemporary with the mount of the scales, the pins habe not washers and sure would be quite dificult put them and not damage the scales. The draw is carved and after painted in the lines, The two heads I show is by see that the work into one and the other habe a lot of small diferences, dificul to see wothout a microscope, well I think I dont forget anything, regard and tahnks

An absolutely stunning pair, with what may well be original finish. Looks classic 1810s-20s style to me. Any chance you can get high resolution or clearer pics of the blades themselves to see the surface finish?
