le fronton ajouré centré d'un mascaron, les montants sommés de figures d'indiennes ; (un petit miroir manquant)
Condition
Illustration is accurate. The gilding is probably later and has been cleaned. The central head of the fronton has been restored. Two small moldings of the fronton are slightly loose and have to be reglued properly.
Some chips to the gilding throughout.
A small mirror panel is missing as visible on the illustration. Some mirror plates have been probably changed but they all look old. The central mirror plate replaced; previously with two plates, on square and one on the upper part separated by a giltwood border now missing. Some breaks to the mirror panel at the bottom of the left-hand upright. The mirror needs an extensive restoration to the carved elements which need to be properly refixed on the background.
Very impressive size.
