Condition
Cresting of mirror is original to mirror; however, it has been moved to be on the side as opposed to the top creating a horizontal mirror instead of a vertical one. Subsequently, the two edges of the cresting have additional small marquetry blocks to lengthen it to the size of the side; cresting with typical slight bowing; very minor losses to marquetry to scrolled edge at left corner. Mirror plate appears to be original with nice crystallization and soft bevel with some minor pitting and losses to silvering. Minor restorations to marquetry and cross-cut moldings. Overall in very good condition.
