This antique hand mirror originates from the early 20th century. Constructed from .800 continental silver, the piece possesses a polished metallic silver finish with a subtle sheen. The design incorporates a circular head framed by a decorative scalloped border, housing its original bevelled glass plate. A shaped, tapering handle extends from the main body, terminating in a smooth, rounded end with a gentle contour. Minor signs of age appear as light surface marks across the metal frame, whilst the reflective surface remains clear and intact. Hallmarks and stamps are present on the silver structure, confirming its standard of purity. Measuring 25 cm high and 14 cm wide, the mirror offers a practical handheld scale for daily vanity use. Placed upon a dressing table surface, a vanity tray, or a bedroom chest of drawers, the object serves both a functional role in personal grooming and a decorative purpose within a dressing room interior. Its compact proportions allow for easy storage inside a drawer or display atop a bedroom surface.

FAQs

Silver hand mirrors became prominent vanity items during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, serving as functional accessories for personal grooming in dressing rooms.

These pieces usually consist of a sterling silver or silver-plated casing fitted with a glass plate and a protective inner core for structural rigidity.

Authentic silver examples typically feature hallmarks or maker stamps near the handle join, indicating silver purity, assay office, and manufacture date.

A silver hand mirror can be displayed flat on a vanity tray, layered atop art books on a bedside table, or arranged alongside perfume bottles on a dressing table.

Clean the silver frame using a dry microfiber cloth or specialized silver polish, taking care to prevent liquids from entering the seam between the frame and glass.
