Overall in very good condition. The chair has been reupholstered in a bright ruby red and the upholstery is in very good condition with very minimal wear consistent with gentle use. The metal has been relacquered and presents with a few surface scratches, a few scattered and minor losses to the lacquer and a few minute abrasions consistent with age and gentle use. The wooden armrest have been sensitively refreshed and are in very good condition. The proper right armrest is slightly angled inwards, stable and has a minor surface scratch to the top, not visually distracting and measuring ¾ inch long. A sculptural armchair with fluid forms, beautifully complemented by the bright upholstery.
