Condition
Overall very good original condition. With some minor wear and losses to the slunkskin along the top rail of the backrest and the front edge of the seat, consistent with age and use. With minor scratches, rubbing, nicks, dings and chips to the dyed plywood frame of the chair. All four rubber discs are in place. The underside of the chair seat with another set of holes for the attachment to the frame, which appear in original. With some rubbing to the slunkskin along the central line of the seat. The proper rear right leg with an area of infill likely covering a minor loss to the plywood measuring approximately 1 ½ inches in length. This is minor and the restoration, although old, appears stable and covers the loss well.
