Lovely 19th Century Miniature Hand Mirror antique box frame A simple but sweet oldI've often admired these little antique doll scale, shaker style hand mirrors, but this is the first of them I've had a pretty little thing, with a hole for threading and hanging from the handle, perhaps to add to a wall, or hall, of many mirrors or to hang above the cat bowl to enable a bit of preening! 6 3 4" x 2 1 2" and in good condition, with light general wear and some spotting to the mirror, all to the good I think.
