A late Victorian silver mounted hand mirror & modern candle snuffer. (2).

A late Victorian silver mounted hand mirror, the oval form embossed in high relief with floral, scroll and bird motifs surrounding a vacant cartouche, hallmarked William Neale & Sons, Chester 1900, length measuring 10 4/8 inches (26.7 cm). Together with a modern silver mounted candle snuffer, the plain tapered body with ball finial and twisted ebonised handle, hallmarked Birmingham 1970. (2). In fair condition, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Both pieces would benefit from a clean and polish. Minor loss of definition to the embossed decoration on the hand mirror, the mirror plate is in good condition. The handle of the candle snuffer is missing a fixture pin to the top join so it currently rotates and feels loose which has caused a hole/split to the silver piece. Hallmarks clear and legible.
