Overall very good original condition. The silvered bronze frame is in very good condition with a few very light surface scratches and a few minute scattered discolorations to the frame. The silvered metal rope appears original. This lot is being offered without hanging hardware. The two rope elements terminate in the circular loops, and the piece has been affixed to the wall for the exhibition using the current loops to suspend the mirror. A large scale and elegant design.
