Condition
Overall in very good condition. When viewed in person, the green upholstery of the cushions on the seats presents with a very slightly lighter than on the catalogue illustration. This is an assembled set, four chairs present with a slightly glossier finish. The surfaces with minor surface scratches, light surface dirt and a few scattered minor edge abrasions consistent with age and gentle use. One of the chairs with a small abrasion to the lower part of the foot near the standard, with associated dirt and measuring approximately 1 1/2 inches in length. The upholstery is by Cassina and in very good condition with minor wear and associated surface dirt. A great group of chairs and iconic design by Saarinen.
