Overall excellent condition. The sheepskin upholstery has recently been changed and is executed in a manner of the original upholstery by local Scandinavian firm. As a result, the upholstery shows no signs of use. The wooden feet of the chairs with minor surface abrasions and light surface scratches consistent with age and gentle use. The wooden feet and armrests appear to have been recently waxed and show a nice consistent coloration across both chairs. The wood with nice depth in the figuring and some very light rubbing and a few small and minor surface scratches to the top surfaces of the armrests consistent with gentle use. A wonderful design showing an attention to function as well as comfort.
