Some of the construction seams are visible. One of the chairs with minor evidence of an old restoration to the proper right back leg, which does not affect the solidity of the chair. The chairs have been reupholstered in an elegant green velvet which complements the decorative pattern. The upholstery is in good condition with very minor surface soiling consistent with gentle use. A very elegant pair of chairs with a finely carved pine cones decorative motifs. En suite with lot 85.
