Condition
EN : Overall fairly good condition.
The metal structure with signs of light oxidation and a few scattered scratches.
The wooden shelves are not flat, as per the intention of the artist.
The shelves are in solid wood and have became uneven over time, hence they do not perfectly fit anymore in the metal structure. Several cracks in the wood, some of them might be original.
FR : Assez bon état général.
La structure métallique présente de léger signes d'oxydation and quelques rayures éparses.
Les plateaux en bois ne sont pas plats comme cela a été voulu par l'artiste.
Les plateaux sont en bois massifs et ont bougé avec le temps, de ce fait ils ne s'intégrent plus parfaitement dans la structure métallique. Plusieurs fissures dans le bois, certaines sont peut-être d'origine.
