en suite with preceding and following lots

Alain-René Hardy and Gaëlle Millet, Jacques Adnet, Paris, 2009, pp. 83, 91 and 118 (for related models)

Overall in good condition. The wood surfaces have been refinished at some point in the history of the pieces and present with a few surface scratches, minor abrasions and light surface soiling consistent with age and gentle use. The proper left back foot of one of the armchairs with a missing rectangular element to the proper right front corner, not visible when the armchair is displayed and which does not affect the solidity and stability of the armchair. The underside of both armchairs with replaced screws. The armchairs have been reupholstered recently in an elegant taupe grey velvet and the upholstery is in very good condition with very minor wear and light surface soiling consistent with age and gentle use. A very elegant pair of armchairs, ready to use. En suite with lots 66 and 68.
