Condition Report

The glass is old, with spots/silver loss, but may be a 19th century replacement. The glass is in two sections, with a seam visible through the middle of the mirror as is common on mirrors this age. The blue/green paint may or may not be original. The gold is probably not original, but it is probably 100 years old or older. There are scattered chips/cracks/small losses with exposed gesso (minor). Several small sections of the open-carved vine decoration are missing from the right side (also minor).
