Condition
Overall in excellent condition. The surfaces display intricate detailing and with a painterly nuance to the patina showing variations of brown and dark gold. The chair frames with minor surface dirt and very minor surface scratches consistent with age and gentle use. The chairs have recently been reupholstered and the upholstery is in excellent condition with very minor traces of use. Two deeply sculptural chairs with wonderful scale and strong visual presence when viewed in person.
