A rare and highly ornate antique Continental solid silver hand mirror, featuring a highly sought-after double-sided design.
This exquisite vanity piece is beautifully crafted in .800 silver, showcasing masterful repoussé and chased work in a romantic Rococo Revival style. The crowning feature of the frame is a beautifully detailed cherub (putto) mask flanked by elegant scrolling acanthus leaves and delicate floral garlands. The handle is equally ornate, heavily detailed with fluting, botanical motifs, and finishing in a practical suspension ring at the base for hanging display.
Because it is mirrored on both sides, it possesses a substantial, satisfying weight in the hand. It is a splendid addition to any fine European silver collection or an elegant dressing table.

There are no major dents or repairs to the silver. The original mirror glass on both sides displays wonderful, age-appropriate character, including charming areas of "foxing" (desilvering/dark spots) and light surface scratches. These elements do not hinder its use and serve as a beautiful testament to its genuine antique age. less
