In really great vintage condition with only minor signs of use. The gold effect has an antique aged look to it which is the original distressed look and not later wear. Possibly continental as how the pencil written numbers to back would suggest. I have left original rope for hanging on back but I would replace with new polypropylene cord. The chain which it hangs on in photos is mine from another mirror and isn't included but can still be purchased from a good hardware store. All slot headed screws to fix hardboard and brackets as opposed to later posidrive screws. Coming from a smoke and pet free home.
