Condition and Details of Restoration
This mirror is in super untouched original condition, including the back. Our specialist restorers have done some minor touching up to the gilding sensitively, and in the traditional manner. As would be expected, there is some foxing to the mirror plate. The frame is attractively rubbed in places, allowing the red bole layer to show through.
