Condition

Good overall condition. The painted wood presents with some scratches, a few scuffs, a few hairline cracks and a few small dents and chips scattered, all consistent with age and use. The wood has most likely been repainted at a later date and the paint presents with rare instances of light wear and with some wear/losses along the edges and the corners, as visible in the catalogue illustration. Some soiling throughout.
