The upper edge wig a minor chip to the left side, visible in catalogue illustration. The metal surface with a few minor surface scratches and a few areas of minor restoration consistent with age and gentle use. A sculptural mirror displaying one of Cheuret's favorite subjects and a rare model to appear on the market.
