Condition

Overall in very good condition. The charred wood surfaces with visible cracking and losses, inherent to the production of the work as intended by the artist. With very minor surface dust in the recessed areas. Minor traces of house paint on the sides of the cabinet, the largest measuring approximately 2 1/4 inches wide. Each piece in the series is unique and differs due to the process. Due to the nature of the production, the piece is very fragile and should be handled with care.
