Overall in excellent original condition. The wooden seat back with only scattered scratches and more edge nicks. There is a small area of scratches to the top of the proper left arm. With a less significant area of abrasions to the top ridge of the proper left side of the seatback. The original leather seat is a beautiful dark brown color with very minute surface scratches. The center of the seat with a square impression that this has not broken the leather''s surface. The metal legs with scratches and pitting as expected. The wheel are functional and the seat swivels with ease. An extraordinary example.
