Condition
Very good overall condition. The lacquered surfaces have been sensitively relacquered and present with some surface scratches and minor abrasions, consistent with age and gentle use. The top of the table with a minor surface crack adjacent to the edge extending approximately 3 ½ inches. The seat of one of the chairs is disconnected from the frame along the back edge, which can be easily repaired (photographs available on request). The cushions on the chairs have been recently reupholstered and are in very good condition, with some minor surface dirt, consistent with age and gentle use. With its fluid lines and light materials, this set epitomizes the artist's 1950s design.
