Condition
Overall very good condition. With some light surface scratches, and a few scattered dings consistent with use. Paper label, partially detached to the underside of the seat, with evidence of original glue and paper remnants adhered to the frame. Currently adhered with tape. This is a very versatile and comfortable bench displaying the artistic sensibilities evident in Wegner’s designs.
