Condition
Very good overall condition. The surface is clean and refinished. One chair with scattered minor scratches and with veneer chip losses to the back feet as expected from age and use. The chair also has a one inch veneer repair on the crestrail which appears to be the original veneer piece, which has just been re-stuck. Some rubbing to the corners and edges as expected. Minor scratches and dryness to the finish that would benefit from a light restoration.
