A Chinese jade hand mirror typically features a polished glass mirror mounted in metalwork, utilizing a traditional carved jade belt hook or garment clasp as its handle.

These mirrors traditionally incorporate carved nephrite or jadeite stone handles, silver or silver-alloy frames, and detailed metal mountings.

Authentic examples display hand-carved jade components with natural stone variations and inclusions, paired with metalwork showing age-appropriate patina and wear.

Antique hand mirrors are commonly displayed laid flat on a dressing table tray, positioned inside a glass curiosity cabinet, or styled on a bedroom vanity.

The glass surface should be wiped with a dry microfiber cloth, while the jade stone and metal frame should be dusted gently without chemical cleaners to preserve the patina.
