Mirror - .900 silver - silver mirror

Ottoman silver wall mirror, Turkish-made, designed to be hung on the wall. Hand-beaten (repoussé), featuring a beautiful raised floral and foliate motif with a scalloped, decorative edge. Traditionally, it was a wedding gift: in the Ottoman Empire, these repoussé silver mirrors (often round or oval with a hanging chain) were traditional bridal gifts given to the bride. The mirror symbolized the beauty and light the bride would bring to the new home, and they were hung upside down to reveal the decorated back. The condition is good on both the glass side and the silver side. Purchased directly in Turkey in the 1970s. The total weight is 570 grams, silver fineness 900, stamped TUGRA, certifying the authenticity and purity of the silver (a state-guarantee mark).
