Vintage Art Nouveau Peacock Leather Hand Mirror – Edwardian Tooled Leather Vanity Mirror c.1900–1925
.
A beautiful and characterful piece from the golden age of decorative design, this vintage hand mirror captures the elegance and romance of the Art Nouveau era.
.
Crafted in richly toned hand-tooled leather, the back features a striking raised peacock surrounded by a fan of detailed feathers, highlighted with subtle green and bronze colouring. The peacock — a symbol of beauty, pride and refinement — was a much-loved motif of the early 20th century and perfectly reflects the flowing, nature-inspired style of the period.
.
The handle is equally decorative, finished with ornamental scrollwork and traditional leather lacing, giving the piece both structure and tactile charm. The warm patina and gentle wear add to its authenticity, telling the quiet story of a century of use and care.
.
This would originally have sat on a lady’s dressing table or been used as a personal vanity accessory — today it makes a wonderful boudoir accent, dressing table piece, theatrical prop, or decorative display item for lovers of Art Nouveau style.
