Condition
Overall in very good restored condition. The surface of the chair frames and the table appear to have a sensitively executed later finish which was added at some point in its history. The surfaces throughout therefore show very gentle use, with a few shallow surface scratches and edge nicks and dings concentrated to the lower portion of the chair frames and table legs. The upholstery is later and is executed in manner and style in keeping with the original design. Please note there are twelve chairs offered in this lot, and only a portion of the chairs were included in the catalogue photograph.
