06/26/2026: In my opinion regarding LOT: 1181, please note I am not an expert on works by this designer or on rock crystal, therefore I have provided numerous high-resolution images for your review, the mirror stands steady, the finish remains bright with only minor mellowing, light rubs and expected surface wear, the decorative frame and base exhibit minor scattered nicks and light handling wear, there is localized Verde patination noted to the base, the adjustable swing mirror hardware operates smoothly and may be tightened or loosened as desired, the visible mirror plate is free of apparent chips or cracks, the reverse protective plate exhibits scattered dings, nicks and deeper contact marks where it meets the retaining arms, consistent with adjustment and use, the upper retaining arm is a bit loose, the rock crystal elements display inherent inclusions, natural fissures, scattered small edge chips and several with blunted tips, a UV light examination reveals localized adhesive residue associated with the mounted rock crystal elements, there is a possible missing stone on the upper left side, this is not readily apparent and may not be the case, overall  the piece is with expected light wear commensurate with the materials, display and use
