Condition
Overall in excellent original condition. When viewed in person, the chair presents with a white color, lighter than in the catalogue illustration. The surfaces with very minor surface soiling consistent with gentle handling. The chair has remained in the same collection since its acquisition at Moss gallery in 2005 and is a great example of the artist's early production of the "Rough and Ready" model.
