Condition
Good overall condition, consistent with the history of the pieces. The wood presents with scattered scratches, scuffs, dents and chips, the later concentrated along the edges. The legs presents with a few small holes. The set has been previously restored (the wood has been re-varnished, previous dents, chips and holes have been filled), as partially visible in the catalogue illustration. There are instances of abrasions to the thick brown finish on the wood. The set has been recently re-upholstered and the suede upholstery is in very good condition.
