Condition
Overall in excellent original condition. Appears that arms have been recently oiled. Wood and leather with superb patina. Seat with some very minor discolorations. Minor crazing to edges that have not broken the surface of the leather. Padding of the seat has been compacted slightly from use, which shows in some minor slackness in the leather (visible in the catalogue illustration). All the wheels and chair elements move with ease.
