Condition
Overall in our opinion the chairs present well. The surfaces of the frames have been cleaned and applied with a light varnish. One chair has a small shallow flake loss nick to the side edge of one of the arms. The other chair in the pair has a very slight reduction to the corner/edge of one arm - possibly where the corner has previously been lightly sanded to smooth off the damaged corner. In our opinion these issues do not adversely affect the overall attractive appearance of the chairs. Each chair retains a firm structure, and the upholstery remains in overall very good condition with no rips, tears or stains.
