Condition

Overall in good condition. The two birds located to the crest have later gilding and one wing with visible casting seam resulting in a slight movement to this location. There are overall traces of wear and rubbing to the gilding with some restoration. The mirror is however in good state of presentation and the molded details are crisp. One plaster rose is detached to the floral spray at the bottom of the mirror and is available in a bag and can be re-glued.
