Condition
Overall very good condition. The painted iron base with very minor surface scratches, chips and dings. Appears to have been repainted. The interior of the chair with two abraded areas where a rough corner has rubbed against the piece leaving abrasions, impressions and a very minor tear which has not broken the surface of the leather. Possibly re-upholstered, but it is extremely difficult in this case to tell.
