each with an arched rectangular plate engraved with a baluster vase of flowers encircled by vine leaves and grapes,the cushion moulded borders applied with flowers and leaves, the apron with a tapering bracket issuing two spiral-twist candlearms and four polychrome flowers

In need of some minor attention. Both are dirty and would benefit from a light clean according to taste. There are some old restorations to breaks in the glass. A section of petal on one is missing. Two metal tips on the stems of one flower and candlearm are missing but can easily be replaced. There is an old restoration to the candle-nozzle of one which is showing slightly more yellow in colour than the rest. There is a slight gap between the ebonised border and the blue glass border. Some of the spirally border is missing leaving glue residue on both mirrors. Some losses and damage.
