Why You’ll Love It
An exquisite example of miniature silversmithing, this 1:12 scale tabletop mirror was handcrafted by acclaimed Russian artist Dimitri Shevchenko. Made in sterling silver, the mirror has a rectangular frame richly worked with layers of intricate decoration, from the delicate beaded inner border to the raised floral and foliate motifs surrounding the outer frame. A genuine reflective mirror is set within the silverwork, while the hinged easel-style support allows the piece to stand beautifully on a vanity, dressing table, chest, or mantel. The reverse is finished with luxurious red velvet.
This exceptional mirror would be especially beautiful in a formal boudoir, dressing room, grand bedroom, or period interior.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
