Charming Folk Art Shaving Mirror with Original Paint
Tabletop shave mirror (circa 1920s, USA) with a tiltable mirror and swiveling shaving cream or soap bowl (bowl only partially swivels). There is a narrow razor holder on one side, and an empty hole on the other side, suggesting that another holder was present at one time. Decorative hooks, presumably for hanging washcloths, adorn both sides.
Lovely, distressed condition but remains structurally sound. The mirror itself is clean (free of scratches, foxing, cracks) but bears a slight slant, and there is paint loss to the frame commensurate with age and use.
