An Italian gilt-bronze, blue-glass and glass-mounted mirror, Roman early 18th century

The colour of the blue glass is less violet looking and more attractive than in the catalogue photograph. A jewel-like stunning mirror. Some very minor tarnishing to the gilt-bronze which is slightly dirty and would benefit from a light clean according to taste. There are some cracks in the blue glass border of the top as visible in the catalogue photograph. There are also some minor losses to the glass border at the top eg there is a miniscule section top left and right side. There are some replacements to the twisted glass border. There is also a crack in the glass border top right and there is a very minor section of twisted glass border top right corner. There is a printed paper label on the back with the coat-of arms of Principe Massimo.
