Stunning Art Nouveau Pierced Silver Dressing Table Mirror Animals & Birds 1887

£365    $490    €428
An absolutely delightful small silver trefoil shaped easel-backed dressing table mirror. The frame is cast and pierced with all manner of whimsical and magical creatures hidden amongst the scrolling, flowering vines. Green man masks sit in the centre of each lobe. There are squirrels and curlews, the heads of other birds at the ends of some of the vines, and lion heads, out of the mouths of which pour forth other vines. It really is a treat to look at. The glass is bevelled and certainly appears to be original and the easel back is covered in a dark blue leather or leatherette (this is not original but has clearly been done exceptionally well and displays beautifully). Hallmarked to the front for London 1887, makers Rosenthal, Jacob & Co (Julius (Judah) Rosenthal & Samuel Jacob), and partial marks to the side.
 
The front measures 15.9cm (6 1/4'') high and 15.5cm (6 1/8'') wide, and it stands 14.3cm (5 5/8'') tall and 12.7cm (5'') front to back.
 
In excellent condition with no dam...
