Condition
Overall very good original condition. No restoration has been undertaken on this piece. The metal portions of the frame show minor oxidation and rubbing to the decoration consistent with age and use. The shelf is slightly loose and would benefit from being stabilized. Some minor chips to the mirror adjacent to the underside of the shelf, likely inherent in the making and not visible once the mirror is righted. The shelf also with minor edge chips. The mirror plated glass is original and in very good condition. Currently lacking hardware to affix it to the wall. Please note the measurements in the catalogue as this is a large scale work.
