There are the inevitable minor dents, marks, scratches and shrinkage cracks due to age and use. As noted in the cataloguing, the oval mirror plate is later in date, and the mirror has been regilded. There are some minor losses to the fragile carving, including a top of the foliate cresting. There is a redundant square hole behind the foliate spray suggesting an additional cresting element was previously mounted therein. The lower part with a cut-out section behind, suggesting there was an additional fixed element, now lacking. There ares several previous fixing holes.
