This mirror is weighted, more than likely cement filled, and does have a very light rattle from part of the material inside coming loose.  This is very common for these type of mirrors due to use over the years and temperature changes that expand and contract these materials.  The mirror is not chipped or cracked, but does have light spots where the rear film has come loose, and overall, the mirror is very lightly loose in the upper left corner.
Otherwise, it is very solid, with no major dents or damage and very nice, ornate details to the floral design and female figure, in a nicely done 3D raised relief that really stands out and is indicative of the Art Nouveau movement during the early 20th Century.
It has minor scratches and marks, due to use and storage over the years, very minor dents on the top of some of the higher details, and it retains a very deep level of original patina over the Sterling surface due to aging.  We choose not to clean or polish silver like this just in case a buyer prefers to have it this way.
It is clearly hallmarked on the inside top of the handle STERLING 925 PAT. AUG. 12. 02.
HISTORICAL FOOTNOTE:
Even though this mirror is not hallmarked anywhere that I can find by a maker, I was able to research this patent date.  It refers to US Design Patent number 35,993, dated August 12, 1902, assigned to Eastwood & Park Co. (1888-1922), historic listed USA silversmith from Newark, New Jersey, and designed by Walter Turton of Arlington, New Jersey.  The last photo shown is a condensed version of this patent, showing the exact design of this mirror.  It is not included with the purchase of this mirror, but is being shown for historical documentation.
This is a fantastic and very elegant piece in person for those that collect Art Nouveau design, silver by this maker, or unique vanity items, such as mirrors!  You will not be disappointed!
DON'T MISS OUT!
Would make a great gift idea for that special someone you know, too!
