Summary
Mahogany overmantle with shelves and five mirrors. A large central mirror is flanked by smaller mirrors, two on either side, one above the other. Each of the smaller mirrors has a small display shelf at its base, giving four in total, and beneath the lower shelf there is a carved panel. The panel is identical on each side and features an urn and fabric drapes. The decorative panels are at the base of the overmantle and each has a further section of decoration on its outer edge, where the base of the overmantle flares out, these carved wings have leaf designs. The top of the mirror is also decoratively carved with further leaf designs and a central flower. On the top in the centre a small, turned wood urn is mounted.
