Condition Report **Mirror has repairs to the center, right and left sides of crest, with the left side still loose. Horizontal pierce-work at top below crest also exhibits some repairs. Repairs are not readily visible. Glass is in very good condition, and not likely original; wood elements have some minor scattered nicks, cracks and losses. Paint and parcel-gilt are largely intact. Condition is commensurate with age, material and use.
