The large mirror is in sound structural condition retaining its original polychromed faux marble finish. The 26-pane mercury/silver-backed mirror glass panels present considerable patina overall and some areas of loss/flaking mostly near the pane joints. The mirror retains all but 2 of its gilt bronze rosette medallions. One glass pane retains a chip and another a 6 inch crack with the panels being in otherwise sound condition. The wooden frame presents mostly minor losses with one sizable giltwood trim portion at the upper-right corner which has not been retained. The polychromed wooden jardiniere which is intended to rest at the foot of the mirror is in overall very good condition displaying only very minor losses to its finish and retains its original painted tin insert. Please see condition photos.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition. Condition reports prepared by Freeman's staff are provided as a convenience and may be requested from the Department prior to bidding.

The absence of a posted condition report on the Freeman's website or in our catalogues should not be interpreted as commentary on an item's condition. Prospective buyers are responsible for inspecting a lot or sending their agent or conservator to inspect the lot on their behalf, and for ensuring that they have requested, received and understood any condition report provided by Freeman's.
