Condition
Overall in very good original condition. The leather used to execute these designs presents with a beautiful saturated red hue and is soft to the touch. One chair with a minor abrasion along the leather at both of the top corners of the backrest, that appears lighter in coloration. Otherwise the leather presents with a few very light surface scratches. The ottoman with three minor areas of abrasions along the immediate edge of one of the shorter edges of the frame. The ottoman with two minute ink marks along the center of the leather upholstery. The chromium-plated frames are in excellent condition with minor surface dirt to the recessed portions. A wonderful example of the artist's work showing an architectonic attention to detail in the construction.
