Condition
Overall excellent restored condition. With some nicks, scratches and dings consistent with age and use. Professionally cleaned. The surface of the chair is a white-washed pine and appears slightly more white in reality than in the catalogue illustration. The white spots to the surface of the chair as seen in the catalogue illustration are concentrations of the liming and not subsequent changes in condition. The fabric upholstery of the seat has been replaced, but is consistent with the original design. The vertical panel the proper left side of the chair with an age crack approximately eight inches in length, starting at the base of the chair.
