Condition

Good overall condition. The oak has been re-varnished at a later date and the set has been re-upholstered. The upholstery is in very good overall condition. The wood presents with a few dents and small chips not visually distractive, slightly more significant at the bottom of the legs. The seams between the armrest and the front legs are partially unfixed and would need to be restored in order to ensure the stability of the armchair.
