Overall very good condition. Please note the measurements of this lot as it is small in scale. The frame of the stool is slightly loose, as a result of age. With some minor losses to the lacquer at the lower edges of the base, likely from use. The leather upsholstery is likely later, but appears to have been on the stool for a long time. With some minor rubbing and few minute surface scratches. A small scale work that encapsulates the design of the master ébéniste.
