Condition
Overall in very good condition showing gentle wear. The seagrass portions of the chairs are in good condition with some minor surface dirt, fading and discoloration consistent with age and use. All are presently stable and with no evidence breaks or disruptions. The backrest with some minor rubbing, finish wear and evidence of minor sun fading. The lower edges of the legs with concentrated nicks, dings and scratches as expected with use. A nice well-matched set of chairs that we acquired from Nakashima at the same time.
