Good overall condition
The feet of the sofa and of the chairs have been replaced, a long time before they had been bought in 1989 at Galerie Downtown and are showing scratches consistent with normal use and age.
The upholstery is not from origin but is in good overall condition ; it is worn onto the armrests and the belts (visible on the catalogue image), all of it consistent with normal use and age.
