Good overall condition. This elegant pair of armchairs presents with instances of wear. The lacquered wood presents with scratches, lacquer lacks throughout and minor dents mainly located along the edges. There are rubbing marks on the feet. The armchairs have been reupholstered and re-lacquered at a later stage. All consistent with age and use.
