Overall very good original condition. With minor edge chips and abrasions consistent with age and use. One slightly larger chip and abrasion to the back edge of the proper left side of the seat back measuring one inch in length. The abraded areas along the edge showing slightly lighter in color as the stained wood has been lost and the natural wood color is revealed. This lot is being sold with a later cushion in salmon color upholstery, which is close in color to the original scheme for the Auldbrass Plantation.
