Condition

Overall in very good condition. The surfaces with very minor variations in the finish, likely original in the making and not visually distracting. The reverse of the mirror inset appears to have been stabilized in a few areas, as well as in a small area between two of the rays. The mirrors are convex and the largest mirror appears to have been replaced at some point in the history of the piece. The mirrored glass surfaces with minor surface scratches and light dirt consistent with age and gentle use. A spectacular work by Line Vautrin with a very poetic presence when viewed first hand.
