Condition
Overall very good condition. The leather upholstery selected for these is wonderfully soft and shows very gentle signs of use with a few shallow surface scratches and light discoloration consistent with gentle use, visible in the catalogue illustration. The leather has acquired a wonderful patina with age and is executed in a richly colored Niger leather. The frames with a few minor areas of rubbing to the armrests, small and minor surface scratches and some abrasions to the lower portion of the feet consistent with age and gentle use. This chair was designed by Finn Juhl to appear weightless on top of the wooden frame, and this is achieved when one views the chair design. When viewed in person, these chairs also present with wonderful sculptural details to the shape throughout.
