Condition

Overall very good condition. The horsehair upholstery is possibly later, and is executed in a manner and material consistent with the original design. The chromium-plated frame with minor rubbing to the chrome finish, light oxidation and some surface scratches consistent with gentle use. The cane back is in very good condition showing no breaks and with light rubbing to the high points consistent with age and use. With chair with some minor surface dirt to the recessed portions. A wonderful design and significant presence when view firsthand.
