The leather presents with craquelures and surface minute tears throughout the surface due to the overall drying of the material. The leather also presents with scattered scratches, scuffs, small dents, stains and wear overall. The inner leather presents with tears and liftings all along the edges and with two significant tears along the junctions with the side leather element. The inner leather might have been replaced at a later date. The metal clasps of the straps are oxidized and presents with traces of rust. This lot is sold without a mattress.
