Condition
Overall in very good original condition. The upholstered cushion shown in the catalogue illustration is later, and shows no evidence of use. The wooden frame of the chair with minor edges nicks, dings and occasional surface scratches consistent with age and gentle use. These two settees with identical measurements and wear. A rare opportunity to acquire a pair of this design.
