Item Details
Description
Decorative folding mirror - brass and copper, gold-plating and semi-precious stones. Jerusalem, first half of the 20th century. Unique work. 
When closed, a lithograph of the Temple Mount and the Hebrew word "Yerushalayim" can be seen in the upper section of the mirror. At center of the lithograph is a picture of the Jaffa shoreline with the Hebrew text "Yaffo." It is surrounded by many decorative, gold-plated engravings of leaves and semi-precious stones. The upper section features cherubic images. At center of the exterior is a decorative handle. Three doors open to display three mirrors, one at its center and two at its sides. Each "door" is ornamented with engravings in four colors. On the back of the mirror is a stand that can be opened and closed.
This is a unique artisan work made in the first half of the 20th century. Our search for similar works in the history of Jewish art were not fruitful. We have not found other works of similar design. Rare.
Size: 33x46 cm. Depth [when the mirror is opened]: 23 cm.
Light bends in the frame, the gold plating is faded in a number of locations. Fine condition.Â
