About the Item

Victorian Men’s Table Shaving Mirror Cast & Painted Iron England, circa 1840s DIMENSIONS Height: 20.5 inches Width: 13.25 inches jDepth: 6.25 inches ABOUT This striking English Victorian table shaving mirror is a superb example of craftsmanship, its design unmistakably serving a practical yet symbolic purpose: a shaving mirror for a man, possibly for use by a military officer. Its purpose becomes clearer upon examining its design, which pays tribute to the military might and glory of the British Empire. The mirror is housed within an elegant oval frame made from cast and cold-painted iron, topped with the iconic British Royal Crown. Flanking the mirror’s frame are gracefully curved banners, adding a sense of grandeur. The frame itself is supported by a composition of crossed axes, swords, and elements of knightly armor, including cuirasses and helmets, symbolizing valor and strength. To further enhance its regal appearance, the entire frame is adorned with intricate floral garlands, creating a harmonious blend of martial honor and decorative elegance
