Condition
Very good overall condition. The wood with superficial scratches and minor edge abrasions, consistent with age and gentle use. Light surface dirt in the recessed areas. The seat of the chairs have been reupholstered and present in very good condition showing only very gentle use. Two wonderful examples of this iconic armchair model.
