Lovely 19th Century Miniature Hand Mirror antique knotwork basket which someone wrote in pencilI'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.
