In need of some attention.

On the same chair there is a chip where the arm joins the support and the front right leg when facing has a break and is loose as is the opposing front leg. The rear right leg has a restored break.The second armchair is sound and sturdy with some very minor chips to the decoration. There have been some very minor replacements to the seat-rails and the legs have been repegged. Restorations to the rail on both chairs.
