Condition
Overall very good original condition. Each of the chairs shows minor surface scratches. Each of the chairs with felt to the feet, some of which are falling off and thus making three of the chairs uneven. One of the chairs with a small chip to the through tenon on the top edge of the backrest. This is an old damage, and it is barely visible. Some of the chairs (one in particular), with small nicks, chips and minor losses along the lower portion of the leg, possibly from use or dog teeth. The chairs have acquired a beautiful patina.
