Condition
Please note that this lot is illustrated under number 106 in the paper catalogue.
Overall in good condition. When viewed in person, the mirror displays a rich and deeply saturated crimson red. The surfaces with minor surface scratches, minor abrasions and light surface dirt to the recessed portions of the design consistent with age and gentle use. With some cracks to the inserts and two minor losses to the pointes, visible in the catalogue illustration in the upper right quadrant and which are stable and not at all visually distracting. The convex mirror appears to be original and present with minor surface scratches consistent with gentle use. A superbly detailed mirror of very nice scale and intense coloration. -----
