Other than give it a gentle bath and a coat of good quality wax, there is but one thing you’ll want to do. See the dowel at the bottom of the mirror frame? There is one on either side, and over the decades they become loose, which makes the mirror unstable. The easiest way to deal with it would be to glue the mirror yoke in place, but I wouldn’t. It would be better, and very little trouble, to drive new dowels into the two holes – then drill the proper size hole that would allow the dowels on the yoke to fit snuggly in place. It is very easy to do.
