Condition of the object (Very good vintage condition):
The set is in superb overall aesthetic condition, very clean and ready to be installed in your home. The wood is very sound and retains a beautiful glossy patina.
As with any authentic handcrafted object that has stood the decades, there are light, normal signs of aging that confirm its history (clearly visible in the detailed photos): the glossy varnish has subtle losses or micro-scratches very localized on the wooden bases, and the metal parts show very light spots of rust in places, entirely natural. Nothing diminishes the beauty or the solidity of this magnificent piece of popular art, which retains all its charm and authenticity.
