Condition
Overall in excellent condition. Does not appear to have been re-upholstered. The upholstery is in excellent condition with minor soiling and surface dirt. One small opening to the upholstery on the seat between the fold which appears to have been part of the upholstering, rather than damage. The frame is in excellent condition with only very minor scratches, nicks and dings throughout. The underside of the frame with some holes lacking hardware. The steel understructure is in great shape. A fantastic example of this design.
