Michel Karis

This is a beautiful antique hand mirror in genuine Art Nouveau (Jugend) design, made by the Derby Silver Company, active in the USA from 1872 to 1933. The mirror is marked “DERBY SILVER CO. PAT. JUNE 14” and “PATENTED JULY 26 1904,” confirming its early 20th-century origin.

The back is richly decorated in high-relief repoussé with a flowing-haired woman surrounded by poppy flowers and swirling Art Nouveau lines. The handle is monogrammed “M.G.H.”, likely the initials of the original owner.

The mirror is not marked sterling and is most likely silver-plated, as typical for Derby Silver Co. pieces from this period. The glass is in very good condition and reflects clearly.

Condition:
Good antique condition. The glass itself is intact and smooth, with no cracks or chips, and reflects clearly. The reflective layer on the underside shows some patina and loss in places, typical for its age, as visible in the photos. The metal frame has a rich, even patina that enhances its antique character.

Measurements:
Length: 25 cm
Width: 14 cm
Dept: 3 cm

Net Weight: 420 grams

Please take a good look at the photos, which are an integral part of the description.

This lot will be carefully packed, so it will get to its new owner exactly as it should.
