Condition
Bon état général.
Quelques traces de restaurations au parchemin, notamment le long des bords, aux accotoirs, et aux angles arrière du piétement, dissimulant quelques manques. Légère brunissure du parchemin, notamment aux parties latérales des pieds. L'ensemble recouvert d'un vernis afin de stabiliser le parchemin. Quelques tâches et fines rayures au parchemin, d'usage. Quelques rares et anciens trous de vers notamment sur le piétement et au revers de l'assise. Le décor présente quelques traces d'usure par endroit, certains éléments redorés postérieurement.
Good overall condition.
Some traces of restoration to the vellum, notably along the edges, to the armrests and to the back of the feet, hiding a few lacks. The entire surface lightly revarnished to stabilize the vellum. A few stains and hairline scratches to the vellum, consistent with age and normal use. A few rare old worm holes, notably to the foot and to the underside of the seat. The decor lightly wear in some areas, the gilding refreshed later.
