Overall very good condition. The frame possible with a later finish. The wood with very nice figuring, and has been stained to have an ebony-like finish. The arms with some light scratches. The upholstery appears recent but has been executed in a manner and material consistent with the original design. The chair with a wonderful sculptural presence.
