Condition
A highly decorative and useful screen in overall good condition. There are some old marks and scratches to the surface of the metal in places. The glass panels are in good condition with some minor manufacturing flaws. There is some surface dirt overall and it would benefit from a light clean. One metal panel at the back of the screen is missing exposing the bolts which hold the piece together. However, this could probably be replaced. There is some minor wear to the pointed metal frame.
