Although the architecture is the same as we see during Louis Philippe's reign, the amazing detail is abundant in the relief work around the entire framework. The outermost bordering is a variation of Greek coin, with a beveled separator then a repeating acanthus foliate design for the main border, another separator then a bordering of beading immediately adjacent to what appears to be the original mirror. The original backing that protects the silvering on the mirror is stamped with the maker's brand: Verres a Vitres. What a wonderful find!
