Condition
Overall good condition. The wooden surfaces of the chairs present with scattered surface scratches, abrasions, discolorations, areas of wear, minor chips, scuffing, some minor age cracks, and traces of light surface soiling and some water damage throughout, all consistent with age and use. One chair with a loss to the wood surface on the proper right rear leg post measuring approximately 8 x 3/4 inches. The upholstery throughout with scattered minor stains and discolorations with some very minor occasional cracking to the fabric at the corners. All tacks are replaced and are in good condition. A playful juxtaposition of modern upholstery with Arts & Crafts furniture.
