Condition
Overall very good original condition. The leather showing a beautiful patination acquired with age. With a very sculptural quality to the design of the arms. The legs with light surface scratches and a few light areas of discoloration. Three of the areas where the foot attaches to the sofa has been repaired, as it appears to have stripped at some point. Surface dirt to recessed areas. A superb example of an iconic and rare design, and probably the first example to appear on the US market.
