Overall very good condition. The leather with some minor wear consistent with age and use. With some darkening to the top surface of the leather panels to the backrests and armrests.

The bentwood portions with minor nicks and dings at the edges commensurate with use. The back of one of the chairs with two areas of abrasions measuring approximately one inch in length. A very well-matched set of chairs and settee.
