The frame is richly decorated with twisted rope motifs, floral garlands, and finely detailed relief work, giving it a strong Louis XVI / Empire-inspired character. The original mirror glass shows authentic age-related patina with visible foxing and spotting, which adds depth and historical charm rather than detracting from its presence. The giltwood frame retains its original finish with areas of wear, small losses, chips, and old restorations, all consistent with age and clearly visible in the photos.
