The Chinese mirror paintings: the colors overall vibrant. The silvering with the typical tiny losses scattered throughout, commensurate with age, as well as an area of more prominent desilvering, to the left of the lady's raised hand in the larger mirror. Some losses to the polychrome, and some associated inpainting, mainly to the costumes. Each side of the mirrors with the typical scattered superficial scratches, commensurate with handling, and the typical dust or debris around the edges of each, mostly obscured by the frames. The mirror plates not unframed for inspection.

The frames: overall in good order, structurally sound and ready to wire and hang. With scattered chips, losses to carving and gilt surfaces revealing gesso, bole and bare wood in areas as to be expected with handling. Overall good appearance.
