Art Nouveau Mirror Compact, Locket, Medallion, c1900
Stunning
and very elegant, antique mirror compact i.e. pendant, probably dating from
1900 to 1910.
Both
sides have a beautifully raised pattern of delicate mistletoe sprigs and
berries in the typical Art Nouveau style.
The
pendant slides open, to reveal a facetted mirror enclosed on each side.
The clasp
is tight and closes well.
This
would be an absolute eye catcher, worn as a nostalgic pendant on a long chain,
but also a fantastic and very useful accessory for a ladies handbag or purse.
Excellently
crafted and highly detailed work – it would be a wonderful gift and certainly a
very fine addition to an antique collection!
Size
(without jump link): 6.5 x 4.1 x 1.2 cm
Weight: 47.8 g
Composition: silver plated
Condition:
this is in very good condition, with only small signs of use,
commensurate with age. Very tiny nicks and some faint surface scratches, but no
damage, dents or dings. Light, but hardly noticeable silver loss to some of the
raised leaves and a small scratch to one side (see photo6). Both mirrors are perfectly useable,
despite the small spots around the edges. The attached chain shown on some photos isn’t of any value (metal ?), but will be included, if it should prove to be of any use. The
medallion has been
gently polished with a soft cloth and retains its lovely patina.
