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.
In good order. As stated in the cataloguing, the painted decoration possibly later than the fabrication of the overall mirror; scattered scratches, flakes and losses to the polychrome. The multiple mirror plates with the typical losses to the silvering scattered throughout, their surfaces with the typical scattered light scratches, commensurate with age and handling. The central plate possibly an old replacement. Some touch-ups to the silvering, and some of the slips differing in tone, presumably replaced or re-silvered. The frame with scattered age and construction cracks, and with the typical scattered chips, losses to carving and gilt surfaces revealing gesso, bole and bare wood in areas as to be expected with age. The panels to the reverse with some replaced strips at the edges. Some evidence of previous woodworm to the wood overall, now inactive. Good overall presentation, structurally sound and ready to hang.
