Bidspirit auction | Victorian Style Silver Plated Hand


Victorian Style Silver Plated Hand Mirror with Porcelain Medallion - This hand mirror is constructed from silver-plated metal over a yellow-toned base metal, exhibiting a Victorian-influenced aesthetic. The reverse features a circular inset medallion made of white porcelain or enamel, decorated with a black transfer-printed scrolling foliate and floral design. The frame and handle are elaborately decorated with chased and engraved floral and scrollwork patterns. A large slotted screw is positioned at the base of the handle. No maker's marks, hallmarks, or serial numbers are present on the item. Total length: 9.5 inches. The mirror is in fair condition with significant signs of age. The glass mirror plate exhibits heavy desilvering, foxing, and surface oxidation. The metal surfaces show heavy tarnish throughout, with substantial wear to the silver plating on the handle and edges, revealing the base metal beneath.
