Rectangular in shape, it is surmounted by a pediment composed of a mask in its center, on either side of Putti musicians, followed by flower vases. .
The mirrors are framed with decoration of golden scrolls on a black background and surrounded by interlacing and foliage frames. A golden floral garland separates the main and upper mirrors.
Swedish work in gilded lead and glass églomisé panels.
Original glasses and gilding (a small crack in the upper left part, on the glass églomisé)


A mirror attributed to Precht, smaller and with a more ordinary decoration, was sold in 2013 in Berlin. This one, with its decoration of putti musicians and mascaron, presents a more meticulous and remarkable decor.


Using a system of iron rods at the back, it is possible to place the mirror on a piece of furniture.
On the back wood, a paint mark (stencil) symbolizes a royal crown.
