Condition

Very good overall condition. The wood surfaces with very minor surface scratches and minor edge abrasions concentrated to the lower portions and consistent with age and gentle use. Light surface dirt to the recessed areas, consistent with age and use. The bronze feet with a few light scratches, light oxidation and minor rubbing to the patina, consistent with age and gentle use. The armchairs have been later reupholstered with chenille which is in very good condition. A wonderful pair of armchairs with strong scale, emblematic of the artist's dynamic design.
