The acanthus egg and dart carved swan neck pediment is surmounted with a carved armorial cartouche flanked by opposing C scrolls on an egg and dart plinth. leading down to the acanthus-carved and punch-decorated frieze centred by a shell.
The original soft bevelled looking glass is set within a gadrooned frame further bordered with a concave leaf and floral border, flanked by cascading swags and passementerie.
Similarly, the punch decorated apron is centred by a well-drawn mask crowned with Prince of Wales feathers, flanked by scrolling acanthus and floral patera.
This is a fine example in an excellent state of preservation, retaining the original soft bevelled looking glass.
