Condition
Overall very good condition. The chair and the ottoman appears to have been re-upholstered. The top corner of the backrest with minor losses to the surface of the leather, consistent with use. With some minute surface scratches to the leather, none of which break the surface of the leather. A good example of this iconic form.
