Condition
Geneally very good overall condition. Wood surface is clean and sensitively refinished. There is some fading, soiling and snags to the original tapestry upholstery which is expected from age and use. The silvered finish to some of the tacks is crackling with some losses. The sabots have some rubbing and oxidization as expected from age and use.
