STERLING NOUVEAU figural Nymph MIRROR

This is an OUTSTANDING beautiful figural antique hallmarked and DATED sterling heavy hand mirror. The exotic calla lilies stretch across the top of the mirror and the woman’s face comes out of the leaves at the bottom of the handle like a nymph in the woods.
At the top of the center calla lily are the hallmarks ( see photo of the close up of them) which I am able to verify via a silver website if you want the link).
At the base of the mirror, a single calla lily floats down to reach the woman’s face. This weighs over 1 POUND and is quite a substantial piece. When you turn the mirror over you see the woman’s head at the bottom and one very fancy flower that rises up to the mirror itself.
The mirror is in great shape and is beveled as well. Around it is ornate sterling braid work. This hand mirror measures 10 ½" x 5" at its widest and is 1" THICK. IT has a very unusual shape to it which makes you know it had the a hand cut mirror.
This is in such great shape and has wonderful silver patina to it. A true collectors item. This is one of the finest English sterling vanity mirrors I have ever seen. The marks are the lion and the anchor and AN E in lower case and WD for WD (William Davenport Birmingham  1888-1904). From what I understand it was one of the last years for him to make such beautiful pieces. There is a tiny flake missing off one of the bezel cuts of the mirror.

ships wheel top ( The ring moved back and forth) . It has two of its original sewing tools made of ivory. These are called bodkins, which is a small sharp-pointed tool for punching holes in leather or fabric a blunt needle for threading ribbon

original. This is quite the old sewing collectible as well as one
for all the Maritime collectors

ART DECO MEDUSA Egyptian HEAD glass brass FRAME sterling ORNATE Gothic WITh CHild PHOTO signed

Medusa was originally a beautiful nymph, "the jealous aspiration of many suitors," but when she was taken by poseidon in Athena's temple, the goddess transformed
her beautiful hair to serpents and she made her face so terrible to behold that the mere sight of it would turn a man to stone. This antique frame has been made so the brass Medusa heads show up on the outside of the glass in a second frame. The top and bottom have a glass Egyptian
head that is set in filigree brass. The edges are gorgeous with etched flowers. The back is velvet and has a silk
old ribbon that keeps the hinge open so it stands.
Inside is a photo with an inscription of the adorable little boy in the old photo. This is 11 ½ x 8 ½" and has its original glass and old velvet matting ( needs changing). The neatest thing about this is can have a whole photo that shows to the edge or a matting will fill the double frame on the edges in the front This is marked sterling ( see close-up) but it looks brass to me. Sold as is. Frame is good and velvet needs a little brushing.
