Hand Mirrors Facts & Tips

Exquisite Antique Hand Painted Porcelain Hand Mirror Brush Set Not What You're Looking For? Click Here For More Hand Mirrors or Brush Sets   This is one of the more fabulous vanity hand mirror and brush sets that I have acquired in awhile, very dynamic and appealing in every way.  I don't get many sets that are hand painted, as opposed to transfer decorated, but the brush strokes are very apparent, as well as the inspired talent of the artist.

My photos are expressing the color tones of these roses fairly well, a rich purple lavender that is commonly referred to as "sterling rose". The artwork is well executed and the addition of multi green leaves adds just the right touch, however, you should expect this set to look significantly nicer in person, I don't think my photos do the set true justice. The paint is in very, very good condition. On the brush there is a tiny white speck on the rose, as shown, looks like possibly a wee bit of a skip in the paint where there is a minute rough spot in the porcelain, a common element found on antique china and certainly takes nothing away from it's grand appearance.

The brass framing and the handles on this set are simply delicious, to say the least. The outer rims have a wonderful fancy decorative edge and the deeply embossed Art Nouveau mermaid handles are a rare delight. These decorative traits are on both sides of the set, which have been polished to a stunning sheen, almost looking like gold gilt, much nicer than my photos. The original mirror was cracked so I replaced it with a high quality, perfectly clear, mirror that has a wide bevel just like the original. The natural bristle hair brush is in remarkable condition for it's age, very clean, looks pretty much unused but is recommended for decorative purposes only. This outstanding set measures as follows: the hand mirror is 9¼ in length and has a 5 inch viewing surface; the brush is proportionately a little smaller. If you've been searching for that special antique Art Nouveau vanity mirror and brush set with hand painted roses, please consider this gorgeous combo, I can only imagine that you will be thrilled when you see it up close and personal, the last photo shows this set very well.
