Condition

Comfortable. This lot has been re-upholstered very recently so the fabric and springs are very good. The colour is good and is a light green in colour - this does not come across in the catalogue. The seat is solid and the carving is good. There are however chips to gesso and paint throughout form years of wear, this maybe a feature that some would find attractive though. A very charming item that is an attractive size and has lots of style.
