Condition
Overall in very good condition. These chairs were made by the designer to accompany the prior lot. Please note this is a set of ten chairs and not all the chairs are shown in the catalogue illustration. Each of the chairs in this set is an armchair. These pieces were all very sensitively cared for, and show evidence of only gentle use. With some scattered surface scratches and edge nicks, particularly to the lower portion of the legs. Each chair is deeply sculptural design, in which the even the elements of the construction have become beautiful decorative details.
