Condition
Overall in very good condition. The white painted base with some minor rubbing and scattered losses to paint. With a few edge nicks, consistent with age and use. The original rope elements are in very good stable condition with some light discoloration from age. This lot is offered with a green fabric upholstered cushion which appears original, not shown in the catalogue illustration. The cushion with some light soiling concentrated to the center portion.
