Condition
Very good condition overall. Minor hairline scratches concentrated to the bases of the legs. Two pieces of ivory inlay have been replaced with what appears to be mother of pearl, located on the upper left and right armrests to one chair. Each measure .5 cm and 1 cm. The upholstery is newer. Minor separation to the veneer on the inside armrests of both chairs and is not visually distracting.
