Overall each chair is in very good condition. The wood surfaces present with faint minor surface scratches, nicks and scattered minor abrasions, consistent with age and gentle use, largely concentrated to the lower portions of the legs. Two chairs with small scratches to the reverse of the back rest and one chair with a minor nick to the back rest. The corduroy seat cushions are original and in generally clean condition. One chair with a minor area of discoloration approx. 6 x 1 in. Each chair with a yellow 'D' plaque and execution is likely between 1967-1980.
