Condition

In fair condition and presentation. One can notice a loss to a foliate clip, located to the bottom center of the mirror. One broken clip to the foliate beneath the proper righthand side stork. Another loss to the foot of the proper right hand side stork. Beneath this stork there is a long acanthus foliate, which is now detached but available in a bag. The overall gilding shows tarnishing and dirt, with some overpaint restoration in places.
