Condition Report
The frame is generally in good order but has some inevitable mother-of-pearl losses but these seem to be confined to the scroll work of the cresting, see the images.
The mirror is in good order, I am not wholly convinced this mirror is the original plate but is nevertheless in good reflective order
The backboards may have been replaced at the point was replaced (?)
The mirror stands as a very decorative and functional item.
See the extra images supplied
The mirror plate is shaped but to give a measurement in two aspects it is 106 cm wide x 135 cm high.
