The mirrored panels are sound and firmly anchored to the wooden structure; the silver plating exhibits a charming and natural period bloom, and there are very small, imperceptible signs of aging on the outer edges (as shown in the detail shot). These are entirely normal and consistent with its age, and do not affect its structural stability or extraordinary aesthetic appeal.
