Condition
Overall very good original condition. Each of the leather seats and seat back with discolorations, mostly from liquid, surface scratches, crazing and rubbing to the surfaces. There are no breaks in the leather, and the leather surface have acquired a beautiful patina over time. One of the chairs with a vertical area of staining, with some associated minute nicks to the leather in the region. Another chair with a larger discoloration from liquid which measure 2 ½ inches in diameter. The seats have been compressed from use and the leather of the seats are presently more loose then in the original design. The wooden frames with some minor nicks and scratches. This set of chairs shows use, but also shows the best qualities of the original leather.
