Condition
Overall condition good, with exception of a series of minor indents to the front right edge of the seat. There are also two minor indents to the back edge of the seat and several very minor surface age separation cracks. There is a slight area of separation to the joint at one side where the hanging rail is joined to the back splat – however this joint remains sturdy and firm. Despite these minor issues, in our opinion the chair presents well, with the seat mechanism in full working order and the leather seat inserts all present. The chair retains a firm structure overall.
