Vintage oval silver-tone hand mirror with an ornate floral handle, decorative fabric backing and beautifully aged mirror glass. Foxing and areas of silver loss give the reflection a distinctly timeworn character—the sort of imperfection that makes an old vanity piece look like it has actually lived a life.
Why Art Nouveau Revival? Art Nouveau design, at its height around the turn of the 20th century, favored flowing lines, flowers, vines and organic ornament. Later vanity pieces frequently revived that vocabulary. The floral handle on this mirror fits the look beautifully, while Revival lets us identify the design influence without pretending the mirror itself dates to the original Art Nouveau period.
Measurements: approximately 10" tall x 7" wide Weight: approximately 0.15 lb
Condition: Vintage pre-owned condition with visible foxing, silver loss and discoloration to the mirror glass, plus age-related wear to the silver-tone finish and decorative backing. These are genuine signs of age and are part of the piece's character. Please review all photos carefully.
Dating note: No maker or documented production date has been identified, so the piece is described as vintage rather than antique.
