Generally in good condition consistent with age, with minor wear to the gilding, this possibly restored with retouching the gesso surface and selective regilding. The whole frame appears to have a thin clear varnish (shellac?) over it.

The are scattered small, mostly slight and inconspicuous spots of degradation to the silvering generally towards the edges of the plate. (The appearance of the plate in the catalogue photograph has been modified; it does not represent the actual appearance of the plate.)
