Condition
Overall very good colour and condition. Light natural wear to surfaces and extremities commensurate with age and use. Please note that this is a matched pair – there are subtle construction differences with each. One has small dowels to the tops of the legs. One stool has a slightly narrower seat hump than the other. There are minor areas of wear to each, including small indentations and abrasions. One stool has a small flake loss chip to the edge of the seat and a small age separation crack. Despite these issues, overall in our opinion the stools present well with attractive age patina and with each retaining a sturdy frame.
