A fair amount of wear and splitting around the frame notably the top section which looks to have been broken across in two places and glued back but not professionally restored, with much of the gilding still rubbed away and old cracks still showing, engraved glass plates all look to be in good order, the leaf type divisions show one being incomplete and broken at 7 o'clock with the two upper divisions probably later replacements now modelled as gilt scallop type shells, some small losses and damages to the light scrollwork at the base, glass plates showing old oxidisation, please ask for additional images if required.
