Condition

Good condition overall. The wood presents with the usual small scratches, scuffs, minute dents, minute chips and small cracks, all consistent with age and use. The structure has been re-varnished at a later date and presents with traces of small restorations (mostly small re-finished areas to cover small scuffs and minute chips and some stabilized cracks.) The back of the proper right armrest of one armchair presents with a chip of approximately 1 cm of diameter. The upholstery is newer and in excellent condition.
