Condition

Overall very good original condition. The bookcase with significant scale and presence when viewed in person. The papier mâche surface with minor edge nicks, dings and scratches. Both the proper right and proper left lower edges with abrasions and minor impacts, some of which reveal the natural coloration of the paper. These are minor, measuring 3 inches at maximum. The doors to the top of the case have papier mache hinges, and proper left door does not open smoothly. The fit to the door is slightly more snug than the opposite side. The center compartment was not designed with a door. Please note the measurements of this lot as it is large in scale. A wonderful large scale work by Studio Job.
