Condition
Overall in very good condition consistent with age and gentle use. The rear outer corner between the backrest and seat with a few very minor scattered dark marks which may come out with a gentle clean, and a hairline crack to the lacquer at the joint, appears stable and is not visually disruptive. The outer joins between the seat and central legs with hairline cracks to the painted finish appear stable and are not visually disruptive. The inner corner between one stretcher and one of the central legs with a hairline crack to the painted finish which appears stable and is not visually disruptive. A surreal and playful model with good provenance.
