Condition
Overall very good original condition. With very minor losses to the finish of the caning. Some very slight patina and slight color differentiation across the caning, which is consistent with the natural aging process of the cane. With some minor areas of discoloration to the frame, including what appears to be some slight water spotting to the proper left interior edge of one of the legs. Some scratches and rubbing to finish at the lower portion of the feet, expected with use. Also with losses to the finish along the handle portion of the seat frame, which now show slightly lighter in color. The chairs fold with ease. Excellent examples of a very closely matched examples of the form.
