Overall excellent condition. The wooden frames of the chairs with shallow scattered scratches. Some differentiation in the color and graining across the group of chairs. Four of the brands appear to have been later stained. With slight sun fading to a few of the frames. The leather is later and has scattered minor scratches. Each of the chairs has been sensitively re-upholstered in the manner consistent with the original design. The rosewood frames adds depth and intricacy to the sculptural form of the chair frame. A superb large group of chairs.
