Condition

In excellent original condition. The leather surface with surface dirt, minor surface scratches and a few minor areas of staining. The leather has acquired a beautiful patina with age. With minor crazing throughout, which adds depth and character to the leather. Minor areas which are lighter in color. With a few minor nicks to the edges, none of which have resulted in significant damage. One horizontal impression extending across half the back of the sofa, which has not broken through the leather and remains stable. The wooden feet with expected scratches and nicks consistent with age and use. An elegant design by this master Danish craftsman and architect.
