Overall very good original color and condition with the exception of minor areas of touching in to areas of the frame, the most noticeable of which is a small circular area approximately ¼ inches diameter to the back rest. There are other more minor areas of touching in to the tips of the armrests and the bases of the legs. There are two or three minor separations to the cane seat, but is not visually distracting and remains structurally stable. Overall this represents a rare opportunity to acquire a scarce model in overall very good original condition. The chair retains a firm frame and in our opinion presents well overall.
