Tiny Victorian Souvenir Hand Mirror

A charming little gilt brass souvenir handbag or purse mirror.

This gorgeous little hand mirror has an art nouveau style to the handle and the back features a garland of flowers surrounding a picture of the cathedral in Cologne. This is probably a souvenir from The Grand Tour in the later Victorian period after trains were introduced making the trip easier. Earlier souvenirs were more luxurious and individually made, whereas later souvenirs were made on a larger scale, hence the printed picture on the back of the mirror.

This gorgeous little hand mirror measures approx. 9.5cm long and is made from gilt brass. There is still a small amount of gilding remaining in one or two places.

A charming little mirror for a handbag or a collection.
