Condition

Overall good condition. Brass could be cleaned, according to taste, top and bottom sections with evidence of former positioning of hardstone mounts, possibly the present hardstone mounts which may simply have been re-positioned and mirror is now possibly lacking two former hardstones. Some minor foxing to later plate. Regardless, the mirror is ready to use.
