Condition

Overall very good condition. The sofa has been re-upholstered recently in the manner consistent with the original design. The upholstery shows only very gentle wear with some minor soiling at the high points of the sofa back and arms consistent with age and use. The wooden legs show minor edge nicks and scratches commensurate with use. A very good example of a rare model by Wormley.
