Good overall condition. The patinated copper seats and backs present with some surface scratches, a few light stains and some light oxidation stains mostly concentrated to the seats and the edges. One chair presents with two vert-de-gris stains on the seat (the largest of approximately 1,5 cm of diameter). Another chair presents with tarnishing and wear to the patina on the front part of the seat. The gilt bronze presents with some tarnishing overall with some scattered slightly darker oxidation stains (including a few rare light traces of very-de-gris). There are a few small scratches and small dents, consistent with age and use. Two chairs are slightly wobbly.
