Rare Antique Early Victorian Mercury Cameo Roman Medallion Hand Mirror Pewter
From my parent’s estate. They collected antiques including unusual pieces and silver. This particular piece is an early Victorian Hand Mirror 4 1/2″ long and 1 7/8″ wide. I do not know what kind of metal it is – looks like pewter to me but it is not indicated in their notes. A cameo medallion bust of the Roman god Mercury (god of commerce and financial gain, also Roman messenger god) is on the back side of the mirror with ornate and delicate handle. You can see that the mirror has a flaw in it (streaks and a mark inside the glass – see photos) but you can still see your face in it. Also see bottom of the handle. I don’t have much more information other than what was left in their notes. It really is a nice piece – 44.6g of metal and mirror, and a charming conversation piece. I can imagine a Victorian lady having this in her purse to check on her appearance at a ball or spy on someone behind her….. The detail in the cameo is quite good. I have done nothing to clean it. This piece is very nice and should be loved and displayed.
