Bidding ended. Lot has been sold.

Condition report: 

At some point this mirror has been restored. 

The surfaces have been gilt lacquered, with the bottom leafy finial secured more recently. This element is possibly later. The eagle has also been resecured. 

The mirror plate is heavily foxed/ oxidised. Maybe this is a good replacement. The back of the mirror indicates the mirror backing has been resecured at some point. 

Various old shrinkage cracks and other areas of wear commensurate with use and age. 

Please see additional photographs on www.bellmans.co.uk  of the plate and back.
