Condition

A large and impressive mirror of good overall appearance. Finely cast with good detailing. The mirror is possibly a later replacement and measures 71cm. diameter. Small chip (c.1cm) to outer edge and with very minor foxing to the plate, neither of which are at all distracting. A few leaves lacking and some leaves at the extremities bent, but again this is not apparent or obvious. Reverse with original hinged hanging bar. An excellent example of Brandt's craft, ready for use and display.
