Condition

Overall very good original condition. The chair displays a few occasional small and minor surface scratches consistent with age and gentle use, concentrated to the seat back and lower portions of the proper right and proper left exterior surfaces of the chair legs. There a few minor isolated surface discolorations to the patina of the seat and seat back, some possibly inherent in the making. The largest discoloration approximately one inch in diameter to the top of the seat, as seen in the catalogue illustration. The chair makes a wonderful minimalist sculptural statement with a nuanced patina when viewed in person.
