Condition
Overall very good condition. There appears to have been a later finish applied to the wooden frames of the three works offered in this lot, and the surface presents currently with a slight shininess. With some gentle signs of use, including surface scratches, nicks, dings and rubbing to finish all consistent with gentle use. The upholstered elements of the suite are later and have been sensitively executed. With scattered minor surface scratches and light rubbing from gentle use. With minor surface dirt throughout.
