The frame is constructed from polished brass with the upright supports terminated by turned finials. The central panel is secured to a horizontal base rail with two rectangular projecting feet.

Condition report:

The polished brass frame exhibits minor surface wear and light tarnishing consistent with age and use (photo 1). The mirror glass plates appear to be in good condition with no visible chips, cracks, or significant foxing to the silvering across the three sections (photo 1). The hinges operate correctly and are securely attached to the main frame.
