Condition

Overall very good condition. The chairs offered in this lot show minor surface dirt, which is more noticeable on the green example and visible in the catalogue illustration. The pink chair in this lot with a minor area of isolated pin-sized holes to the upholstery. They are minor and concentrated to one area of the top portion of the backrest. The metal legs each with minor surface scratches. Both are nice bold color examples of Newson’s iconic Embryo chair design.
