Overall in very good condition. The wood surfaces appear to retain their original finish, displaying exceptionally rich color. The wood surfaces throughout with some occasional light surface scratches and minor edge losses (mainly to the corners) consistent with age and gentle use. There are a few minor sliver losses to the side edge at the top right corner, and an old small shallow loss around the lower dowel at the bottom right corner. The left border of the frame with a few small very subtle scattered surface stains. This is the only known example to date of this rare mirror design.
