Condition Report
The pair appear in overall good, stable, and ready to hang condition. The giltwood has an attractive aged patina throughout. There are minor chips and flakes in the gilt revealing the gesso and wood beneath. One mirror with a crack running vertically through the crest, this appears to be superficial and not a structural issue. Both mirrors with scattered repairs visible from the back. Each mirror with a wire for hanging on the back. Additional images are available upon request.
