A large and ornate silver table mirror – A wedding gift to Prince

This large and ornate silver table mirror has a pointed arch above the original plate. The openwork chased and repoussé silver frame is applied to a matte royal blue velvet ground and comprises an abundance of classical motifs couched in leafy scrolls. Centred at the top is the coat of arms of Princess Beatrice flanked by putti supporting floral swags, while the arms of Prince Henry of Battenberg are centred on the lower border. The sides have entwined initial roundels under a crown and suspended from ribbons with bunches of fruit, cuirasses and masks. The reverse has a silver easel support and a plaque inscribed ‘Presented to H.R.H. Princess Beatrice on her marriage by the Town of West Cowes 23rd July 1885 Benzie Fecit’.
