Condition

FR : Bon état général. Quelques rayures et traces d'usures éparses sur le bois. Quelques traces d'usure sur la paille. L'ensemble d'usage. Sur une des chaises, les traverses encerclant l'assise sont moins larges que sur les autres chaises. La manière dont l'assise est paillée varie du modèle répertorié. EN : Good overall condition. Some scratches and wear scattered on the wood. Some wear on the straw. All of it consistent with age and use. On one of the chairs : the wood elements surrounding the seat are less large than on the other chairs. The way the straw is layed out on the seat is different from the way it is layed out on other known versions.
