Condition
Overall very good condition. The neoprene surface throughout are in very good condition showing very gentle use. With a few very minor surface scratches, none of which break the surface of the material. One chair with some minor impressions, likely from storage, to the proper right area of one seat adjacent to the leg. Please contact the 20th Century department at 212-606-7170 for photographs of this chair. The legs with minor discolorations and a few scratches concentrated to the lower portion of the legs, which are consistent with gentle use and age. The coloration of the neoprene across the pair is identical. A well-matched pair of this iconic design by the designer.
