Condition
Overall very good condition. Re-upholstered. The frames have been refinished. With minor surface scratches. The color of the upholstery is the same across the chairs. In the catalogue illustration the proper left edge of the seat cushion appear lighter in color, but this is just the way the upholstery caught the light.
