Inger-Marie Tanier and George Tanier, Knight of Danebroge
Phillips, de Pury & Luxembourg, New York, December 8, 2003, lot 172

Overall very good condition. The frame element, which consistent to two square platforms in the original condition. One with a small crack to the wooden siding which appears the result of age and use. The wooden elements with minor, nicks, dings, scratches and light discoloration, consistent with use. The white ground, which is the top surface of the seat frames and both the smaller and larger trays, with some minor discoloration from the natural aging process, scratches from use, but remain in excellent used condition. There are two larger trays which are ¼ of the seat, and seven smaller trays. The cushions have been recently re-upholstered in manner consistent with the original design and with very gentle signs of use. One of the unique qualities of the design of this piece is that the configuration can be arranged in any fashion. The seat frame with no dividing elements, so the seating elements and the trays can be placed in any location.
