Condition
Overall very good original colour and condition, light natural wear to surfaces and extremities commensurate with age and use. The upholstery appears to be original, with no stains, tears, or marks, however the padding within the frame has deteriorated and lost its elasticity, as is expected with original upholstery of this age. Overall in our opinion the chair presents well and retains a firm structure.
