Condition

Overall very good condition. When viewed in person, the chairs present with an overall brighter, more vibrant color palette; the upholstery is richer and more red and the wood is brighter and more orange. The wood surface with light surface scratches, edge abrasions, dents and some scattered minor discolorations throughout, concentrated to the feet and consistent with age and use. The upholstery is original and has acquired a nice patina with age. The leather surfaces with some wear, light surface scratches and abrasions, and scattered discolorations throughout, visible in the catalogue illustration particularly on the seat backrests. The seat cushions with some rippling. A very nice pair of chairs that are both stylish and comfortable.
