Condition
In good conserved condition. The mirrors have been re-gilt and the surface has areas of deliberate rubbing for an aged effect. There are some minor signs of movement along the lines of construction. The reflective surface to one mirror plate has small distressed areas. The black paint is flaking off to the scrolling metal branches issuing from the candle arms. A very smart model with good carved detailing.
