Condition

The illustration is accurate despite too pink/orange. Good overall condition despite the inevitable minor scratches, dents and marks due to age and use. The gilding is rubbed throughout revealing wood or red/white gesso underneath. A few minor losses to the carving. The mirror is slightly foxed. Very decorative.
