I bought this at a consignment shop in Kentucky for my mother in law. It has an unusual design. I have searched for some time looking for any information on this item. Bottom of cup is stamped with a Red Eiffel Tower and says Limoges. There were so many companies that it is very difficult to find out how old it is or what it is worth. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Haven’t given it to my mother in law yet because I know she will ask all kinds of questions about it. Thank you for your help. Sorry about the quality of my photos.
The set was passed down from my grandmother to my father to me. I believe it was my Grandmother's primary set from the late 30's through the 1980's. It has lived in a guest bedroom since 1990.
It has been well-kept up and polished over the years. However, as with any used furniture, there are a few scratches from normal wear and tear. Notably there is some oil/grease damage to the bottom of the vanity and moving scratches on the left side of the dresser.
As for the glass, the mirror is in fabulous shape for an antique mirror. My father also tells me that the glass shelf was originally rose-colored, but has been replaced with this clear shelf.

The above information was taken from a sheet of paper that was tucked inside the cabinet,unbeknown until we had it at our home. The interior of the cabinet has cloth weaving material. It has doors that open on each side and then a middle section that is decorative with wood and an oval design that also opens up.
