Overall in very good condition. The silver appears brighter and more vibrant when seen in person when compared with the catalogue illustration. The silver surfaces with very faint surface scratches. The edges with a few very minor indentations, concentrated at the two uppermost corners and the left edge from gentle handling. The reverse retains its original velvet which presents with minor fading to original hue, consistent with age and gentle use. The glass face is likely not original and in very good condition. A richly detailed frame indicative of organic influences of the period.
