Condition

Overall in very good condition. Please note that this is a pair of armchairs, please visit sothebys.com or contact the 20th century Design department for additional photographs. When viewed in person, the wood presents with a rich figuring and the upholstery is a light blue, slightly paler in hue than seen in the catalogue illustration. The wood surfaces present with minor surface scratches and a few scattered edge abrasions consistent with age and gentle use. The armchairs have been reupholstered and the upholstery is in good condition with minor wear to the surface of the wool on each seat, not at all visually distracting and light surface dirt consistent with age and gentle use. A very dynamic design and comfortable pair of armchairs, ready to use.
