Condition
Overall in excellent condition. The proper right front edge of the backrest with a minor chip measuring approximately ½ in., not visually distracting and consistent with age. The front proper left leg with a minor nick measuring less than 1/8 in., not visually distracting. The bases of the feet exhibiting only extremely minor marks. An impressive and creative work by Studio Job that exhibits their characteristic playfulness of design in conjunction with highly skilled execution.
