Condition

This work is in good condition overall. The top of the table element is slightly loose from the table base. All other elements are well intact. There is time staining to the printed paper elements and oxidation to the metal elements. There is evidence of wear, nicks, and surface scratches to the various elements due to the artist's choice of found materials and working method.
