Condition

Overall in very good condition. The charred wood surfaces with visible cracking and losses, inherent to the production of the work as intended by the artist. With a minor area of faint discoloration on the front of one of the legs measuring approximately 2 1/2 inches long. With very minor surface dust in the recessed areas. The surfaces with minor scuffing concentrated on the bases of the feet and minor surface residue in the recessed areas throughout. Each piece in the series is unique and differs due to the process. Due to the nature of the production, the piece is very fragile and should be handled with care.
