Victorian Gorham Sterling Silver Repoussé Floral Hand Mirror, 1894

Founded in 1831 in Providence, Rhode Island, Gorham Manufacturing Company became one of the most celebrated American silversmiths of the 19th century, supplying the White House and championing the high Victorian taste for ornate repoussé work. This hand mirror is a remarkable example of the form, with a densely chased floral back of roses, daisies, and foliage worked in deep relief and a sculptural floral wreath ring handle, all executed in solid sterling. Marked STERLING 12 with the Gorham lion, anchor, and G hallmark and the date symbol for 1894, this Gorham sterling silver repoussé floral hand mirror is a rare survivor from the late Victorian era. Dimensions: diameter 5 x height 7 inches Each piece at Georgie's is a singular, one of a kind vintage or antique find, sourced with care and chosen for its quality and character. Thoughtfully researched and carrying its own story, what may appear as patina or gentle wear is consistent with age, all part of a history waiting for its next chapter.
