4/17/23 10:36am - In my opinion regarding: LOT – 1198: As described, the mirror is with some typical restorations with a note on the back that the frame had been previously restored in 1955. I note an apparent restoration to the left bird, with some small losses and light gilt loss throughout, the mirror plate is intact with only some light silver loss/ spotting, all commensurate with age and use.
