Description

  • amaranth and fruitwood, upholstery
each with padded trapezoid drop-in seats, all with different upholstery; reblocked

Condition

Generally in very condition and solid. There is evidence of old worm and areas of filler to these holes, this is typical and does not detract. Some components maybe replaced, but once again this does not detract from this very decorative good and any remedial work that has been undertaken is very good. The upholstery is attractive and basically clean. There are minor scuffs and marks to the legs but the group is ready to use.
