Condition
In very good condition overall. The oak surface with scattered, extremely minor scuffing, light scratches and very minor indentations throughout concentrated to the corners and border edges, consistent with age and gentle use. The two longer sides of the bed frame present with light indentations concentrated to the end corners and measuring approximately ¼ inch, not visible unless closely inspected. The feet with some scattered areas of fading and discoloration that are not visually distracting and consistent with age and gentle use. A rare and well-preserved example from the iconic series.
