Condition
Overall good original condition. This early example of the model retains its original leather which shows wear consistent with use and age. With scattered discolorations to the edges as seen in the catalogue illustration. With crazing to the seat cushion, some minor cracking to the piping at the front edge and cracking to the adjacent leather of the seat cushion. The front and reverse of the seatback with some light scratches. The back of the seat with a small series, approximately six, small circular impressions that have not perforated the surface of the leather. The leather has acquired a beautiful patina over the years.
