Overall in good condition. The wood surfaces with minor surface scratches, a few scattered abrasions, minor discoloration and light surface soiling consistent with age and gentle use. The bronze with minor surface scratches, wear to the patina and a few minor abrasions consistent with age and gentle use. The structure is slightly unstable, some of the legs being slightly loose. A nice example of Galle’s production.
