Antique 1920s Hand Mirror Jeweled Ormolu Filigree Purple Guilloche Enamel E & JB Art Gold Vintage Vanity Art Deco Boudoir
The hand mirror is made up of heavy, cast white metal garnished with a gilded finish (looks to be redone at some point). The back of the hand mirror is very unusual because it has a large medallion of amethyst purple guilloche enamel. I have seen this style used by E & JB in two other colors: emerald green and sapphire blue, but I find that the blue is the most striking color.
The hand mirror is fitted with a beveled mirror and possesses richly garnished intricate filigree set with purple glass jewels. The handle displays scrolling and a flower basket motif. The mirror is stamped "E&JB" on the edge of the mirror, near the handle. This is from the E & J Bass Empire Art Gold line. The handle is made up of a soft white metal and is weak.
Measures 14" x 4.5".
