Condition

Good overall condition. The surface presents with some light scratches scattered and some rare instances of light oxidation. The patina presents with some light wear throughout, more significant on the backrest, the armrests and the lions' heads, as visible on the catalogue illustration. All consistent with age and use.The leather seat cushions appear to be newer and are in very good overall condition.
