Condition

Overall excellent original condition. With minor finger prints and tarnish to the surface, which is easily removed with a professional polishing if desired. An early example that incorporates two diverse finishes. The seams are executed in the early manner, which is slightly uneven as it was likely hand executed. The chair is weighted to the back, so when it naturally rests the seat is not parallel with the ground. Superb early and unique example of Arad’s work.
