Condition
EN : Good overall condition. The gilt patinated bronze presents with some very light tarnishing throughout and with some rare instances of very light darkening caused by oxidation. Each stool presents with eight spots with darker patina along the seat frame, inherent to the making (these are most likely bronze additions at the time of the cast) and partially visible on the catalogue illustration. There are a few stains on the gilt patina. The stools have been re-upholstered at a later date. The upholstery is in excellent condition. //// FR : Bon état général. Le bronze patiné doré présente un léger ternissement sur l'ensemble de la surface et quelques rares traces d'oxydation plus sombres. Chaque tabouret présente huit point avec une patine plus foncée le long de l'encadrement du siège, inhérent à la fabrication (il s'agit très probablement d'ajouts de bronze au moment de la fonte) et partiellement visible sur l'illustration du catalogue. La patine présente quelques rare tâches. Ces tabourets ont été re-garnis à une date ultérieure et la garniture est en excellent état.
