Condition
Overall the pair presents well with good patina – each seat cushion remains in overall excellent condition with no rips, tears or stains. One chair has a very slight looseness to where the backrest connects to the uprights – there is a small area of veneer loss beneath where the back rest connects to one of the uprights – however in our opinion this does not adversely affect the overall attractiveness of the pair as it is not visible unless the chair is viewed from the underside. Overall the chairs present well and are ready for use.
