Good overall condition. The wood presents with cracks at the junctions, cracks toward the seat at the front of the chair, larger cracks of about 7 cm long on both sides. Some dents at the edges of the wood, more on the feet. Surface scratches throughout. Instances of wear all consistent with age and use. The chair has been relacquered and reupholstered at a later stage.
