International Silver Auction

Ottoman silver wall mirror, Turkish-made, designed to be hung on the wall. Hand-beaten (repoussé), featuring a beautiful raised floral and foliate motif with a scalloped, decorative edge. Traditionally, it was a wedding gift: in the Ottoman Empire, these repoussé silver mirrors (often round or oval with a hanging chain) were traditional bridal gifts given to the bride. The mirror symbolized the beauty and light the bride would bring to the new home, and they were hung upside down to reveal the decorated back. The condition is good on both the glass side and the silver side. Purchased directly in Turkey in the 1970s. The total weight is 570 grams, silver fineness 900, stamped TUGRA, certifying the authenticity and purity of the silver (a state-guarantee mark).

Specchio  ottomano in argento di produzione turca da parete. 
Sbalzato a mano (Repoussè), caratterizzato da un bellissimo  motivo floreale e fogliare in rilievo con il bordo smerlato e decorato.  
La tradizione vuole che fosse un regalo nuziale: nell'Impero Ottomano, questi specchi d'argento sbalzato (spesso rotondi o ovali con una catenella per appenderli) erano tradizionali regali di nozze (Bridal Mirrors) donati alla sposa. Lo specchio simboleggiava la bellezza e la luce che la sposa portava nella nuova casa e venivano appesi al contrario mostrando il retro decorato.
Le condizioni sono buone sia dal lato dello specchio che dal lato in argento.
Acquistato direttamente in Turchia negli anni 1970. 
Il peso totale è di grammi 570, il titolo dell'argento 900, marchiato TUGRA che certifica l'autenticità e la purezza dell'argento (una sorta di marchio di garanzia statale).
