EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into a bygone era with this page from the Harrods Catalogue of Toilet Requisites, dated 1911. This exquisite image showcases an array of essential grooming items from the Brushes and Turnery Department. The page is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and luxury that Harrods was renowned for during this period. The top row of the page features an assortment of shaving brushes, each with a distinctive handle design, suggesting a personal touch to the daily shaving routine. Below that, we find an elegant selection of hand mirrors, perfect for the gentleman's dressing room or bathroom. Moving on to the next row, we encounter a variety of bath mats, designed to provide both comfort and practicality. The intricate patterns and rich colors of these mats add a touch of sophistication to the bathroom setting. The third row showcases an assortment of grooming essentials for men. From the left, we find a shampooing glove, a sponge, and a net. The shampooing glove, made of soft leather, would have been used to massage the scalp during the shampooing process. The sponge, made of natural materials, was used for bathing and cleansing the body. The net, often used for drying or storing small items, adds a decorative touch to the collection. The final row includes an assortment of brushes, including nail brushes, which were essential for maintaining cleanliness and hygiene. The attention to detail and craftsmanship evident in these items reflects the high standards that Harrods upheld during this era. This page from the Harrods Catalogue of Toilet Requisites is a fascinating glimpse into the world of men's grooming over a century ago. The elegance and sophistication of these items remind us of the importance of self-care and the role that luxury stores like Harrods played in shaping our daily routines.
