Condition

Both chairs in overall very good condition, consistent with age. Both chairs contain a few vertical hairlines, likely resulting from shrinkage of the wood over time and is commonly seen in pieces of this age. One chair maintains a more prominent separation in the wood at both the front joints, but it appears to have been professionally addressed at one point in the piece's history and appears stable. Both chairs with new, clean upholstery.
