Condition
The illustration of the catalogue is accurate. Good overall condition despite the inevitable minor scratches to the paint on the legs. All constructions are firm and sound. The green velvet slipcover is in fair condition and the green is slightly faded. The red velvet upholstery is worn and should be replaced. Very nice pieces with a great provenance.
