Condition
Overall in very good condition. A sculptural example of Castle's signature stack lamination technique. The wood surfaces present with minor surface scratches, abrasions, and marks, mostly concentrated to the edges of the back, consistent with age and gentle use. Some hairline wood seam separation on the proper right of the seat, consistent with the natural aging process of the wood material and only visible upon close examination. The seat with some minor areas of discoloration, the largest area measuring approximately 3 ¼ inches wide. A highly sculptural and complex work.
