Condition
Structurally sound. All elements of the metal construction appear to be stable.
There is minor surface dirt and dust to the crevices, with very minor further flecks of matter. Minor isolated flecks of oxidisation are apparent to certain areas of the welding, most visible to the left of the front central arm join and the 'legs' of the back element at the base of the work. There are very minor signs of surface scratching and markings to the flat sheets of steel, inherent to the working of the material. There are one or two additional spots of oxidisation in other isolated areas, visible upon closer inspection. This excepting the work appears to be in very good condition,
