Condition Report
Generally good order. It looks like the original un-bevelled mercury glass plates.
One plate has some subtle bloom to around 85% of the plate and both show some sparkle to the silvering. I have tried to show the bloom in images but it is probably too subtle to show up, that is not to say it is invisible as it is apparent but subtle.
Both mirrors have some minor areas of beading and gesso missing mainly from the bottom edges, see the images for clarification.
