AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Large hand mirror in chased and engraved silver – Liberty floral decor – approx. 1900
Elegant and large hand vanity mirror in silver, made between the late 19th and early 20th century and characterized by rich floral decoration worked in relief and chasing.
The back features an elaborate composition with a large central flower surrounded by leaves, racemes and broad, sinuous scrolls. The decoration continues along the handle, alternating vegetal motifs with smooth cartouches, in keeping with the decorative taste spread between the late 19th century and the early Liberty/Art Nouveau period.
Particularly interesting is the high-relief craftsmanship, which creates a marked contrast between the polished surfaces and the naturally darkened recessed parts due to patina.
The mirror retains its reflective plate and the protective coating along the profile of the mounting.
Dimensions:
height 30 cm
maximum width 16.5 cm
thickness about 2.3 cm
total weight about 490 g
Period: about 1895–1915.
Conditions:
Good overall condition for its age. Patina is present, tarnishing in the recessed parts, light abrasions and small signs of use. On the silver there are some areas of surface alteration and small spots of wear. The surface of the mirror shows slight marks consistent with age.
The coating along the edge shows normal wear and darkening.
