Overall in very good condition. The present lot includes examples of two particularly rare forms characterized by slender slats of basic timber that skillfully create an e­ffective load-bearing structure. The wooden surfaces of the chair and side table both present with light surface scratches and occasional very minor edge abrasions consistent with gentle use. The chair with some stable hairlines to the wood concentrated to the backrest which are not visually distracting. The underside of the chair with an area of sensitive repair to the wooden surface, possibly inherent to the making, measuring approximately 3 x 3 inches and not visible unless the underside of the table is inspected. The underside of the legs with four later protective felt pads. The tabletop presents with a very slight curve to the surface, and with two very fine and stable hairlines, the largest measuring approximately 7 inches long and not visually distracting.
