Condition
Overall very good condition. The chairs show very little evidence of use. The olivewood frames with some minor shallow surface scratches and edge nicks consistent with gentle use. The leather strapping of the seats in excellent condition with some light rubbing from use. A highly sculptural design by this visionary American midcentury designer.
