la structure en bois entièrement gainée de parchemin, les quatre feuilles réunies par des charnières en métal nickelé

Collection privée d'origine

Assez bon état général Quelques traces de salissures éparses sur l'ensemble des panneaux en parchemin, d'usage. Quelques soulèvements du parchemin au niveau des arêtes, notamment au deux parties supérieures centrales et sur quelques panneaux en façade, l'ensemble d'usage. Le deuxième panneau de droite en partant du haut plus endommagé avec craquelures et plusieurs petits manques. Plusieurs panneaux de parchemin légèrement desséchés et avec quelques fines rayures d'usage. La tranche du panneau inférieur brûlé sur une superficie d'environ 5 cm de haut et présentant deux manques. Quelques traces de salissures et d'oxydation aux charnières en métal nickelé. Fines fissures aux panneaux de bois le long des charnières sur la partie droite du panneau de gauche. Good overall condition A few traces of dirt spreaded all over the surface of the vellum consistent with normal age and use. A few lifting ups of the vellum at the edges, mostly at the top of the two central panels and on the panels themselves at the borders of the sheets of vellum. The second sheet of vellum from the top of the right panel is more damaged that any other with cracks and some lacks. A few panels slightly dryed up and with some slight scratches consistent with normal age and use. The edge of the lower panel on one side is burt on approximatively 5 cm hight and presents two lacks. A few traces of dirt and oxidizing to the nickel plated metallic parts. And some slight cracks to the wooden panel along the right side of the left panel, close to the metallic parts.
