Condition

Overall in excellent original condition. Wood of the frame shows minor surface scratches, rubbing to finish, surface dirt, nicks and dings. Possibly with one old replaced screw to the proper right reverse of the chair. Chair frame shows wear around the replaced bolt and therefore it appears to have been replaced a long time ago. Scattered very minor water stains. Chair has acquired a wonderful patina to the wood with age.
