The mirror plate is secured to a wooden backboard via six metal clips and is fitted with a traditional metal hanging chain to the reverse.

Condition report:
The frameless mirror plate shows significant foxing and silvering loss, particularly concentrated around the scalloped edges and appearing as dark spots across the central field; the surface is dusty with signs of age-related wear. The carved wooden frame appears structurally sound with minor surface abrasions and knocks consistent with age; its mirror plate shows surface smudging and dust, along with visible areas of light foxing and silvering deterioration towards the top edge.
