Condition

These works are in good condition overall. Occasional scratches and signs of abrasion can be observed on the back and the side of the chairs. Evidence of paint loss and scratches of various degrees can be observed on the leg and base of all fourteen chairs. Occasional accretion can be observed on the fabric of the chairs, visible only upon close examination. Seven chairs out of the fourteen are missing one screw each on the underside which is not obstructive to the chair's rotation. Rotation mechanism is in good order for all chairs but would also benefit from lubricants for smoother rotation for some individuals. All aforementioned condition issues are consistent with age and use of the work.
