Condition
Good condition overall, consistent with age and use. The lacquer presents with scratches, scuff marks, scattered chips of lacquer and a few dents, as visible in the catalogue illustration and all consistent with age and use. The proper left side edge of the footboard with more significant wear and losses to the lacquer all along, as visible on the catalogue illustration. The metal has most likely been re-lacquered at a later stage and some of the original paint might be visible under some chips. The metal presents with instances of oxidation (mostly visible under the chips of paint). The leather upholstery is newer and in very good overall condition with a few scratches and some light traces of wear.
