Condition
Overall in good condition. The painted metal base with scattered scuffs, scratches, rubbing and chips throughout, consistent with age and use. The outer edges of the metal base with some more concentrated chips to the paint. The lower edge of the base with an instance of cracking and lifting to the paint measuring approximately 5 inches long. The seat has been reupholstered at some point and presents with minor wear, marks, rubbing, and traces of adhesive residue. An iconic design by Eero Saarinen.
