The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
Structurally sound and ready to hang. Richly carved details of scrolling flowers with an exceptionally well-carved ho-ho bird cresting. With scattered cracks, small chips, and tiny losses to the giltwood throughout, revealing gesso and bole in places consistent with age and use. Some small losses and re-glued pieces to the carved extremities as expected with age and use. Mirror plate with scattered foxing throughout, concentrated on the proper right side of the mirror and to the edges. Some losses to silvering, but apparently an old plate and probably original. The backboard is a later replacement. It is possible it did not originally have a backboard as many times this was the case, or that it was originally backed only with paper.
