An Italian rectangular mirror, Venetian, 19th century

the upright plate with a dark blue border, with shaped applied etched panels

In overall good conserved condition. Colour brighter overall and much more attractive than in the catalogue photograph. Some very minor restorations to the small blue applied pieces in the centre of the sides. There is a small restored break in the scroll flanking the roundel in the centre of both the top and bottom border which are hardly noticeable together with a couple of cracks in the blue glass border at the top flanking the central oval which is not too noticeable. Some minor sections of silver foil is visible along the top border but this can easily be trimmed off..
