Louis Majorelle

Overall in good condition. The wood surfaces with some surface scratches, minor abrasions, light discoloration and light surface dirt consistent with age and gentle use. The wood with some evidence of old worm holes scattered throughout. The central decoration with minor separation of the joints at the center, with infill and a minor area of restoration, only visible upon close inspection. The proper left back leg with a crack and associated restoration below the seat which does not affect the solidity of the chair. The settee has been reupholstered and the later fabric presents with surface dirt and some areas of fading from sun exposure. A beautiful Art Nouveau shape.
