Condition

Each chair in overall in very good condition. The wood surfaces present with minor surface scratches, nicks and some minor abrasions, consistent with age and gentle use and mostly concentrated to the lower portions of the legs. One chair with two indentations to the top of its proper left end side horn-shaped armrest. A well matched set, the chairs present with very light variation in color finish, wood grain. Two chairs out of the eight with a slightly more accentuated upward curve of the 'horn' form arm rests, making their front most edges ½ in. higher that the other 6 examples. All leather seats are in good condition with scattered minor areas of wear and rubbing. A nicely matched set that presents very well overall.
