Condition

An attractive and rare model of good overall appearance. Minor old marks and scratches consistent with age and use. Some water stains and blemishes in places. With a slightly dry patina which may benefit from a clean and wax polish. Patina slightly darker than shown by catalogue illustration. Seat cushion lacking. We have contacted Robert Thompson Ltd. who have quoted the cost of a new replacement leather seat cushion 4" thick at £231.30 + VAT, subject to confirmation. An appealing design in good honest condition.
