Condition
Overall very good condition. It appears the wooden elements of this chair have been refreshed at some point in this chair's history. The arms and wooden elements of the frame with scattered nicks, dings and some minor chips to the finish consistent with use. There is concentrated area of losses to the finish along the lower stretcher to the proper left side of the chair, which is visible in the catalogue illustration and consistent with use. The fabric on this chair is later and in the manner and material consistent with the original chair design.
