Overall very good condition consistent with age and gentle use. The chair retains its original canvas pillow which has gentle sun fading, its retaining straps with minor fraying at the ends. The lacquered green frame with very minor paint chips to each leg. The chromed steel with very minor spotty oxidation on the back of the armrests. The flag halyard in very good condition, with the first two rows replaced. Sold together with a contemporary sheepskin throw. A wonderful early example of this iconic Wegner model.
