This mirror bears the specialist mirror-maker's guild brand to the reverse. This brand together with the year was employed on every Swedish mirror sold on the open market that had passed the guild's quality controls.

A similar, larger Adolf Fredrick mirror bearing the guild stamp for 1765 was sold anonymously, in these Rooms, 30 October 1997, lot 75.
