Two Art Nouveau Sterling Silver Dresser Articles
Two Art Nouveau Sterling Silver Dresser Articles
first quarter 20th century, including a hand mirror and a cut glass dresser jar, embossed with poppies and scrolls in high relief.
mirror l. 10-1/4", w. 5-1/2"; jar h. 3-3/4", dia. 4-3/4"
Condition Report: **The mirror has a one-inch "fingerprint" dent at the very top, with a small, discolored split, and the jar lid has some ripples around its edge. Otherwise the silver elements are in acceptable used condition, with the expected bumps, dings and scuffs consistent with age and use. The silvering on the mirror is completely oxidized, a mottled black in appearance; some rattling of detached pieces of the pitch or plaster filling. The glass jar has numerous frits, tiny chips and flea bites but no cracks or repairs. No marks except "Sterling / 925" on the mirror handle.
