The serpentine mirror is also in very poor condition, with significant losses and damage. The oak triple plate mirror is in fair condition, but with some loose joints. The mahogany mirror has loose feet and is therefore unstable but in otherwise good condition. The 3 stands are in fair condition but with losses including a finial to one mahogany stand.
