Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the illustration fails to convey the reflective quality of the surface. Condition: The work is in very good condition. There is a very small indentation to the right centre of the top edge. Close inspection reveals two very thin hairline rub marks running horizontally in the top part of the mirror, only visible under racking light and removable. There are very few faint and unobtrusive finger prints along the edges. Close inspection reveals few very tiny spots of media accretion to the centre of the right edge.
