Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and faint surface scratches to the margin along the perimeter, particularly near the corners and edges. Under close inspection there are a few very small nicks along the edges and some faint wear to the holes in the four corners, likely due to previous installation.
