From The Estate of John Whitwell MS, FRCS, 'Bagatelle', Branksome Park, Dorset.

There are the inevitable minor dents, marks, scratches and shrinkage cracks consistent with age and use.  The mirror plate, which appears to be original, is extensively foxed and the mercury degraded. The gilding is also apparently original. There is a loss to the carving at the centre of the foliate spray at the top of the mirror. In lovely untouched 'country house' condition.
