Condition
Overall in good condition. The bronze surfaces with a few surface scratches, minor abrasions, wear to the silvering and light surface soiling consistent with age and gentle use. The silvered surfaces with some tarnishing which creates a beautiful patina, visible in the catalogue illustration and could be polished further if wanted. The perimeter of the mirror with a few losses to the tarnishing to the top and upper proper left side, visible in the catalogue illustration. A very elegant model by Ruhlmann.
