Condition
EN : Good overall condition.
The wood is slightly dry, with some discoloration on the edges, especially on the 5th and 7th shelves (from the top).
Minor dents and scratches scattered, especially on the sides and the edges of the wooden shelves.
The screws are oxidized.
Lacks of paint, scratches and a few stains, more or less important on the metal compartments, all consistent with age and use.
Rust on the reverse of the bookcase on the metal fixing structure.
FR : Bon état général.
Le bois est légèrement asséché avec une décoloration sur les bords des plateaux, partiuclièrement sur le 5ème et le 7ème plateau (en partant du haut). Petits enfoncements et rayures éparses, plus particulièrement sur les rebords des étagères et les côtés.
Les vis sont oxydées.
Manques de peinture, rayures et quelques tâches plus ou moins importants sur les plots en métal, l'ensemble cohérent avec l'âge et l'utilisation.
