A Swedish gilt-lead, gilt-gessoed and etched blue-glass mirror in the manner of Burchard Precht first half 18th Century

mirror plate replaced

In generally good order. There is a gilt-gessoed rosette missing to the right of the cresting as visible from the photo. There are very minor chips to the gilt-gessoed decoration throughout. There is a replaced blue-glass element to the left side of the cresting. The blue glass to the reserves on both sides of the cresting and to the square shaped reserves to the bottom of the mirror has possibly been replaced. Old minor marks and stains throughout consistent with age and use. An attractive mirror with beautiful detail to the etching of the glass.
