This Arts & Crafts silver hand mirror, made by the Artificers’ Guild in London in 1920, will be included in Woolley & Wallis’ two-day silver sale in Salisbury on October 24-25.
The guild was founded in 1901 by Nelson Dawson, with Edward Spencer as principal designer, and was one of the few commercially successful guilds. Following the death of Spencer in 1938, and the outbreak of the Second World War, the guild closed in 1942.
Measuring 14in (35cm) long, the mirror is decorated with four Celtic motifs and a chrysoprase cabochon to the centre.
