This Edwardian hand mirror follows the Rococo Revival style, fashioned from silver with a polished reflective finish and a brilliant silver colour. The round shaped plate features extensive repousse relief work displaying winged cherubs amidst clouds, surrounded by ornate Rococo scrollwork and trailing floral borders around the scalloped edge. The contoured handle exhibits matching embossed floral decoration and scroll mouldings down its length. Chester hallmarks for the year 1901 are present on the body, which remains in very good condition with no losses, and the mirror glass is similarly clean and intact. Measuring approximately 25 cm in length, this vanity accessory is suitable for placement on a bedside table, dressing table or chest of drawers in a modern bedroom or dressing room. It functions as a decorative tabletop object for daily grooming use, adding a traditional aesthetic to domestic vanity spaces.

Popular during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, these hand mirrors feature decorative metalwork raised in relief from the reverse side, often displaying Rococo motifs such as cherubs, scrolling foliage, and floral borders.

They typically feature an embossed or repousse silver casing fitted over a weighted resin or wooden core, framing a bevelled glass mirror plate with an ergonomically shaped handle.

Authentic silver pieces bear clear hallmarks indicating the silversmith, assay office, purity grade, and date letter, along with evidence of hand-tooling on the relief work.

Position the mirror flat on a dressing table tray, lean it inside a glazed display cabinet, or style it alongside silver perfume bottles on a bedroom vanity unit.

Gently polish the silver surface using a soft microfiber cloth and a mild silver polish, avoiding submersion in water to protect the glass backing and internal core.
