The original convex mirror-plate bordered by a series of decorative motifs including an ebonised reeded slip, saw-tooth motif and the more typical gold balls. To each side of the frame are carved acanthus leaves from which spirally twisted candle-arms extend with brass bobeche and drip pan with cut glass drops.
