A rare and imaginative piece of early 20th century craftsmanship, this mixed-media Arts and Crafts Shaving mirror and lamp is equal parts utility and sculpture - an assembled tableau of handmade charm.
Mounted to a finely crafted oak picket gate, the piece combines a circular shaving mirror with hand-carved scroll support, an early electric lantern-style lamp, and a cast sculpture of a dog, all anchored by a rich sense of material honesty.
At once functional and fantasical, this piece likely served as a hall light or barber’s novelty mirror, but today reads like a piece of folk surrealist sculpture. Also feateures a natural bristle shaving brush, small metal cup, and decorative chain details.
20” tall 13” wide.
