Used ledgers and receipts are used for the base. It shows how people lived in times of poverty, carefully reusing and reusing objects. The base alone has a certain atmosphere. There are signs of sun damage and stains throughout. Some metal fittings on the frame are missing, and there are scratches on the frame. *Please be careful when handling folding screens as the joints are prone to weakening. It is a special technique in which the folding screens are connected with paper instead of hinges. ▲▲ Notes ▲▲ *In order to build a relationship of trust with our customers, please be sure to contact us via the inquiry form before purchasing.
