There are some instances of wear to the gilding and some oxidation stains - mostly concentrated to the sides and the underside. There are a few very rare vert-de-gris traces. The mirrored glass appear to be the original one and presents with a chip along one corner and with a crack on approximately 3 cm along another corner.
