Miroir peint sous verre, travail chinois de la fin du XVIIIe siècle

représentant des personnages devant un palais sur les bords d'une rivière dans un cadre en bois doré à palmettes du XIXe siècle ; (miroir piqué)

Illustration is accurate. Very attractive and decorative piece. Charming scene. The back ground of the mirror plate with expected wear and stains. As visible, the later frame shows some chips. The most important thing is of course the mirror plate which can be easily replaced in a more appropriate frame. Good overall condition.
