Condition

The photograph is quite accurate. Construction is sound and sturdy. Traces of a small restoration to the rear left leg of one seat. The wood strucure was probably not gilt originally: the seats have been gilt and reupholstered recently. Rare and elegant model, highly attractive seats in good overall condition.
