Condition
Overall very good condition. The wood feet and arms present with minor surface scratches, nicks and some minor abrasions, consistent with age and gentle use. The upholstery is original and in clean condition, with very minor fading to the upper back rest and arms and with minor surface dirt in the crevices. There is a very minor stabilization to a hairline crack at the upper joint of the left rear joint where the arm and leg meet. The seat cushion is quite firm as it retains the original foam. A well-known and appreciated design by Finn Juhl, it is a rare opportunity to see a version retaining its original red upholstery.
