Condition

Good overall condition. The originally oxidized metal presents with a few scratches and some additional minute to small oxidation stains. The glass elements presents with surface scratches and tiny chips along the corners (very few along the edges), not visually distractive. One vitrine presents with a broken glass corner (the broken piece is still set and fixed), visible upon close inspection on the online catalogue illustration. The shelves and brackets are later. Two feet on one vitrine have been previously replaced. Light surface soiling overall.
