Condition
Overall in our opinion the pair presents well. Light natural wear commensurate with age and light use. Each chair has occasional areas of wear to the leather that have been touched in with a white pigment. On each chair this is particularly evident around the buttons on the seats, and also to the extremities of the leather frame such as the edges of the armrests and backrests. The back edge of one back rest has a minor scuff to the leather where the leather beneath is revealed. There are minor marks and abrasions to the ebonized legs. In our opinion these issues do not adversely affect the overall appearance of the chairs. Each chair retains a firm structure.
