Condition
Overall in very good original condition. The painted surfaces appear original and present with minor surface scratches. With a few scattered edge nicks and dings which are consistent with age and use. This chair has been sensitively maintained and its current condition demonstrates that care. A wonderful design showing great sculptural presence.
