Condition
Bon état général.
La toile n'est pas d'origine. La structure à balance : quelques petits manques de chrome, quelques piqûres et rayures d'usage sur l'ensemble. Le piétement : coups et manques de peinture sur les tranches en métal. Rayures d'usage et traces de salissures sur l'ensemble de la surface, les deux tubes de caoutchouc desséchés et écrasés au niveau de la structure à balance. Trace de peinture blanche sous la peinture noire. Les patins en caoutchouc laissent transparaître leur couleur rouge. Manque trois tendeurs. Déchirure de la toile renforcée à trois endroits sur les bords latéraux. Gondolements et traces d'humidité et taches sur l'ensemble de la toile.
Good condition overall.
The seat fabric is not original. The rocking structure: a few small losses of chrome, some pitting and scratches on the surface. The base: bumps and losses to the paint on the edges of the metal. Scratches through use and traces of dirt all over the surface, the two rubber tubes have dried and been squashed where the rocking bars rest. Traces of white paint under the black paint. The rubber pads of the feet show their red colour under the black paint. Three stretchers are missing. The fabric is ripped on the sides and reinforced in three places. Rippling, signs of humidity and and stains across the fabric.
