Thankfully we have been able to remove the varnish without affecting the layers of lacquer below. Further cabinet work was carried out to check the carcass and general condition. Being so prominent, it is very rare to find a Chinese lacquer toilet mirror of this date still intact Measures: H 66.15 in. x W 27.56 in. x D 16.93 in.
