Condition

Overall good condition. The chairs appears to have been repainted, as the original black paint is visible under the losses to the gray overcoat. With scattered losses and rubbing to the paint concentrated to the lower portions of the legs, as seen in the catalogue illustration. The losses to paint also showing minor evidence of oxidation to the metal frame. Small areas of losses to the grey paint have been repainted with a slightly lighter tone paint. The vinyl seat with evidence of sunfading and minor losses along the edges and piping as expected. With upholstery showing a brighter pink color visible in half circle to the back edges of the seat adjacent to the legs. With one possibly replaced screw to the underside of the seat. Otherwise chairs appear to retain original hardware.
