Condition
The wood has been slightly varnished and looks better than on the printed catalogue image. Some dents and a few minor lacks to the wood. Two seats would need internal restoration as they are not as firm as the four others. The fabric is discolored at the back. Some have brass feet ends at the front and some others are missing.
The chairs would benefit from a professional restoration.
