AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Hand mirror, of good size, made of English silver .925 (Birmingham, 1921).

The most striking feature is the blue finish. It is guilloché enamel, a very costly and delicate technique. Although it is slightly worn on the left, due to the type of work, it is very likely to belong to a silversmith specialized in luxury grooming items of the period.

The crystal shows some detachment of mercury at the edges (dark spots), which is normal due to its age and gives it an antique character.

Pay special attention to the photographs as they are part of the description.

Dimensions: 28 cm long x 14.5 cm diameter.

Mirror dimensions: 13 cm diameter.

Weight: 260 g.
