Condition
Overall very good restored condition. The frames of the chairs and tables with later applied finish. With some minor surface scratches and dings to the frame. The proper right arm of one chair with an age crack extending eight inches and a smaller adjacent age crack. The frames are designed with a slight outward angle to the vertical elements at the front of the chair. The frame is slightly warped at present, which is consistent with age. The upholstery likely replaced in a manner and style consistent with original design and shows minor wear and minor pulls commensurate with age and use. A very elegant suite of furniture.
