Condition
Overall in very good condition. When viewed in person, the wood presents with a warm color. The wood has been sensitively revarnished and presents with a few light surface scratches and minor abrasions consistent with age and gentle use. The seat has been reupholstered and the upholstery is in very good condition. A great example of an iconic model by Chareau.
