Condition

Illustration is accurate. Please note the glass and the frame are associated; the frame was probably a mount on a piece of furniture at the origin. Gilding has been carefully cleaned up and possibly slightly retouched in places. A little wear on the inner rim, as visible on the image. Very charming mirror with a beautiful chasing.
