Condition
There is some dust on the surface and can benefit from a cleaning. There is a chip to the wood in the lower right corner and lower part of the left edge as well as by the signature. The lower third portion of the metal structure has some cracks to the surface, most likely inherent to the work. Overall the work is in very good condition.
