VINTAGE HAND MIRROR CAST BRASS FLOWER VINE FRAME BEVELED GLASS

Description

A vintage hand mirror, 14" long and 6-3/4" wide, the edge framed with flower vines and an elaborately designed handle. I believe it is made of cast brass, which originally was gilt all over but the handle has lost most of the gilt except for a few visible traces. The round glass is 5-3/4" wide. The frame around the mirror itself still has its gilt finish, with flowers on one side with a satin center. The glass is beveled and in excellent shape with no spots or haziness. There is a small spot on the edge of the metal border holding the glass (see last photo) and some spots on the satin. You might want to cover the satin if the spots can't be removed. It is very well made, solid (over 1-1/4lbs) and very pretty. The metal is very detailed, and the flowers are sculptural and 3-dimensional, with a rich gold color. Please see all photos for more details; sold as is.
