One standard chair with loss to central rosette and to the carved laurel swags. One stands chair with loss to laurel swag. One standard chair with scuffs and losses to the feet. One armchair back fractured and cracked with loss also to central rosette. One of these damaged central rosette slacking section which will require replacement and it is possible that other carved elements need replacement.
