Condition
Overall in very good condition.. It appears that the wooden elements of the frame have had a later added finish coat. With some minor nicks and scratches to the edges. The corners of the chair frame just above the sabot with some minor losses and lifting to the veneer, consistent with age and use. Some rubbing to the finish and chips to the edges along the armrests. The fabric upholstery appears later, but executed in a manner and fabric consistent with the original design.
