Condition

The illustration of the catalogue is accurate but the upholstery is less yellow in reality. Good overall condition. There are the inevitable minor dents, marks and scratches due to age and use. There are two pieces of wood under the seatrail to reinforce the central feet. There are old woodworms traces. One lower part of a foot has been restored. There are some minor stains to the silk. The construction is firm.
