the frames with some minor noted repairs and selective retouching; one mirror with a couple losses to veneer to ears; both mirrors with some age / shrinkage cracks; the mirror plates appear to be old or original, with some flecking and dark inclusions commensurate with age; the backboards appear to be old, and have evidence of former hanging devices, now with later wood support brackets installed to both for hanging, as these are very heavy
