Condition

Good overall condition. The blue cladding presents with instances of light discolouration and with a few tiny losses consistent with age and use. There are some larger losses of cladding that have been previously covered with blue threads and are not visually distracting (the largest on the proper left front leg and on the proper left upper corner of the backrest). A few metal stems have most likely been previously re-soldered.
