Primavera Gallery, New York
Private Collection, New York
Sotheby's New York, June 9, 2000, lot 250

Generally very good overall condition. The surfaces are clean and bright overall with some areas of dryness to the finish, scattered surface scratches, stray marks and dents as expected from age and normal use. There are a concentration of dents, veneer chipping and water marks to the front edge of the base due to its proximity with the floor. The shagreen veneers have some overall darkening and minor soiling as expected with only very minor edge wear and flake losses. The inner dimensions of the bed frame are approximately 78 x 64 inches.
