I've owned this hand mirror for quite some time. I used it regularly when I showed my wares at antique shows. It made for a stunning display piece and shoppers could use it without worry of an accident. Now that I've stopped doing shows, I decided it's time to share this beauty with you, so I unpacked it and gave it a good polishing. I left just enough color to give it depth but not too much. My black shirt did reflect into the photos so you can expect it to look a little better than the pictures, no large significant areas of darkening. I prefer it like this but you could opt to polish it to a higher degree. The silver plate on this hand mirror is nice and heavy but so far, I haven't found any hallmarks on it. 
There is no debating it's age, it is definitely an Art Nouveau era hand mirror from the turn of the 1900's. The timeless designs of that era are prevalent with it's high relief of deeply embossed flowers and leaves, it is really impressive. I'm showing photos from many angles so you can see the depth of the workmanship and the gracious flowing lines. The original beveled mirror is in excellent condition, displaying a clear image and little, if any, tiny scratches and age. The framing is in very good condition with only a few outer perimeter small dents but truly nothing very noticeable like you typically see on many of these Art Nouveau hand mirrors. Measuring 9¾ in length with nearly a 5 inch viewing surface, this mirror will dress up your vanity with style and distinction. It's a marvelous piece, very dimensional and appealing, no damages, I do believe you will enjoy this Art Nouveau vanity hand mirror, it's a splendid remembrance of a time gone by.
