Condition
The work is in good condition overall. There is evidence of wear and handling marks with associated abrasions and scratches and other marks of usage throughout. Drip marks are visible on the side of the left leg. There is evidence of slight oxidization and minor discolouration on the metal, consistent to the age of the medium. An area of paint loss is visible on the front right leg. There are minor chips and scratch marks on the wood.
