<p>[QUOTE="TIVCT, post: 1571982, member: 13802"]Thank you GHopper. So is your assessment that that mirror was produced between 1850 and 1870? I guess that the ormolu is molded from lead as it is quite malleable and soft. I came to this conclusion after about an hour of mechanically grinding the finish off of the first piece without any protection, so I cannot guarantee sound judgment after exposure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
