Condition
Overall in very good condition. When viewed in person, the piece appears slightly darker in coloration than pictured in the catalogue illustration. The front glass tiles present with a few very small and stable hairline cracks on the front tiles, which are not visually distracting and frequent in Line Vautrin mirrors. The mirrored glass is original and in excellent condition. Two distinct areas of minor glass pitting on the outer edge of the mirror surface consistent with age and gentle use. Please note that the mirror's slightly convex contour is inherent to production and representative of the artist's technique.
