Overall good condition. The wood presents with some scattered light scratches, some tiny stains and with a few tiny dents. Minute traces of white paint to the top of the back. A few slightly deeper scratches (seat, backrest), not extremelly visually distractive. The legs have most likely been re-glued at a later stage, with glue remnants on the underside. A few traces of previous small restorations on the legs, including attempts to stabilize some cracks and some chips that have been filled.
