Condition
Overall in very good condition. The wood of each chair presents with minor nicks, scratches, bumps and rubbing, consistent with age and gentle use. A thin white spot (1-inch long) is visible on the left corner of the backrest on one of the chairs. The legs with minor white paint flecks scattered in areas. This could likely be addressed by a professional conservator. The chairs are sturdy and present very well overall.
