Condition
Overall very good condition. It appears that there is possibly a later finish applied sensitively to the wooden elements of the frame, that currently present in a beautiful tone. A few scattered surface scratches to the arms and the lower portion of the feet. The leather upholstery is later and has been executed in a manner and material consistent with the original design. The upholstery work was executed in Denmark and utilizes the same type of leather as the original design. This design with subtle detailing that epitomizes the elegantly functional designs of Henningsen.
