This vintage hand mirror appears to be an Art Nouveau style silver-plated piece dating from roughly 1900 to 1920.
Design Details:
The back features a repoussé (hammered from behind) design, commonly depicting a female figure, cherub, or fairy surrounded by ornate floral and scrollwork motifs.
Manufacturing: Similar mirrors were produced by manufacturers like Foster & Bailey and often have a beveled mirror edge. There are no markings indicating who the manufacturer was on this piece, however.
Condition Check: The silver didn't appear tarnished or dark, so it isn't likely solid sterling. Most likely this piece is silver plated over brass.

There are some minor scratches on the mirror, and some degradation of the mirror affect on the edges. Although these in no way hinder the beauty of the piece, I have made the price reflect the imperfections. The back of the mirror (which is likely silver plated) shows very little wear. less
