03.07.24: In my opinion regarding LOT 1300: I note that the mirror is presently intact and structurally secure, including the beveled mirror plate, there are varying degrees of silver loss and light hazing to mirrored elements, and it is retaining all floriforms that also serve as screws securing foliated scroll elements near the crest and pressed glass, there are several minor chips to edges of mirrored scrolls, most being smooth to the touch and seemingly on the underside of the mirror, there is light surface wear throughout such as minor abrasions, I do not presently observe fractures to the glass or mirror, and the mirror would benefit from a gentle, light cleaning
