Condition
EN : Good overall condition.
This sofa has been recently re-upholstered and is in excellent condition.
The wooden feet are partially covered with a thick ebonised varnished and presents with scratches, dents and discoloration overall, all consistent with age and use.
The colour of the upholstery in the catalogue illustration is more vivid than the actual colour of the sofa.
////
FR : Bon état général.
Ce canapé a été récemment re-garni et la garniture est en excellent état.
Les pieds sont partiellement recouverts d'un épais vernis teinté et présentent des rayures, des enfoncements et une décoloration sur l'ensemble, cohérents avec l'âge et l'utilisation.
La couleur de la garniture est en réalité moins vive qu'elle n'apparaît sur l'illustration du catalogue.
