Charlotte Perriand, 3 Commandes particulières, Galerie DownTown, François Laffanour, Paris du 27 novembre-30 janvier 2009

Bon état général. La bibliothèque a été repeinte aux couleurs d'origine. Traces de petits chocs et quelques fines rayures sur l'ensemble de la surface, notamment le long des bords, dues au temps et à l'usage. Quelques fissures aux plateaux des étagères. Traces de restaurations anciennes le long de l'arête de l'ouverture circulaire, le long du bord de la quatrième étagère en partant du haut et des deux côtés, au niveau des fixations des étagères. Des éléments rectangulaires rapportés sur environ 17,8x6,5 cm (7x2,5 in.) dans l'angle arrière droit de six des sept étagères. Petites tâches sur les parties repeintes. Good overall condition. The bookshelve has been repainted to match its original colors. Traces of minor dents, some hairline scratches over the entire surface, notably along the edges, consistent with age and normal use. A few hairline cracks to the top of the shelves. Traces of old restorations along the circular edge, along the edge of the fourth shelve from the top and on each side, where the shelves are fixed. Some rectangular pieces later added over approx. 17,8x6,5 cm (7x2,5 in.) in the back right corner of six of the seven shelves. Some minor stains over the repainted areas.
