Condition

All chairs in overall very good condition, consistent with age and gentle use. The ebonized wood of all chairs with some scattered nicks, scuffs and scratches. The rushing on all chairs appears original and in generally good condition. There are 3-4 chairs where the rushing shows some signs of gentle wear, but still in quite good condition considering the age. All armchairs show signs of light fading to the ebonized wood of the arms, some more obvious than other. One armchair with marked scuffs at front edges of arms and legs.
