Featured in this lot we have a Sheffield plateau silver mirror made by Thomas and James Creswick in 1811. The piece shows a old style mirror with a ornate silver border and attached to a internal wood backing. The border shows a ring of flowing leaf and floral designs bordering the mirror with a smooth undercut slope below that leading to a border appearing as round bands bunched together with ornate looking bow like structures periodically along the bands. It also shows three foot like pieces that extend down past the backing and travel up about halfway up the slope, they are made in flowing leaf like designs. The silver slope is marked with a coat of arms as well as a checkered pattern on the underside of the ring. The back of the piece shows a wood backing with four silver hinges coming of the border. The piece is in good condition for its age with the mirror showing some wear, the silver shows a warm patina and is missing the screws for the hinges. The mirror comes with a note from the Gump Collection of Authentic Antiques with information of the make, year it was made and who made it. The mirror measures roughly 15 3/4" in diameter with the piece measuring 19 1/2" at the widest.
