In very good original condition throughout.The oval frames carved in pine and with gesso detailing and red dole underglaze, overlaid with original pure gold gilding.

The frames with beaded outer border and swept border, inset with a wide ribbon, egg and flower head curved central border and canted inner slip which echoes the bevel of the mirror plate.

A few very small minor losses to the giltwood here and there but nothing noticeable or untoward. The mirrors appear original throughout without previous restorations.

A wonderful pair of original mirrors ready to hang and enjoy.
