I think its a pretty spectacular thing

there appears to be a black mark on the bottom but I cannot make it out against the dark brown

as it feels so  intimate and immediate to hold in ones hands

with some wear and aging to both the mirror and the wood as accurately documented in photos

Antique Two-toned Horsehair Brush with Turned Handle Wrico I think its a prettyAnother pretty antique brush, this one unusual for its combination of longer black horsehair bristles surrounded by tapered shorter blonde ones. The nicely shaped, reddish stained turned wooden handle features a hole near the end for easy hanging. Late 19th century or so I believe. Good overall condition, with a little bristle loss, a fair amount of wear to the wood, and a little cracking (perhaps a repair, but I'm not sure) to the wood on the handle
