Condition
Overall very good original condition. The chair do not appear to have been over-painted. The painted surfaces show chips throughout, rubbing, and surface scratches. The wooden chair seats with scratches, minor areas of discolorations, abrasions and veneer chips throughout, which are all consistent with use. These chair both retain all original hardware. A very good original example of two matched chairs, showing even wear throughout the pair and have acquired a beautiful patina over time.
