Condition
Overall in good condition. The upholstery on this set of chairs has recently been replaced. The wooden frames of the chairs with minor surface scratches, nicks and dings to the edges consistent with use. Two chairs with very minor seam separations at the joint of the backrest to front rail of the seat. With a few minor scattered evidence of restorations which are sensitively undertaken to the chairs. Each of the chairs with an impressed number ranging from 1 to 6, indicating that the chairs originated together at the time of production. A very fine example of the form.
