Overall in excellent original condition. The chairs with some very minor surface scratches to the wooden frames. Some of the rosewood inlays along the backrest with minor fading, but all are in tact. The cane seats in excellent condition. With some very minor rubbing to the surface treatment on very close inspection. Superbly matched set.
