Art Nouveau Victorian retailer Sterling Shoe Horn

This sterling handled shoe horn retailer features an Art Nouveau beauty with her hair adorned with three flowers, one on top, and one on each side.There is also one on her chest which is integral to a fluid leaf and stem design so typical of Art Nouveau. The lady is on both side of the handle with a round ball joining the horn. A pleasure to hold and admire, it is sturdy, but not heavy. A beautiful addition to an Art Nouveau collection.
