Condition
Overall in very good original condition. The suite retains the original fabric upholstery and it remains in very good condition with evidence of gentle use and scattered minor discoloration. The rubbing and lightening of color to the upholstery at the front edges of the seat, consistent with use. The upholstery with minor wear at the corners of the piping. The proper left corner of the backrest with losses to fabric piping which reveal the cords underneath. With isolated areas of minor soiling consistent with use. The metal frame with loss of finish, discoloration and oxidation throughout, as seen in the catalogue illustration. A very nice example of a rare model by Florence Knoll.
