Condition

FR : Très bon état général. Petites égratignures et petits chocs plus prononcés sur la partie inférieure. Sur l'un des fauteuils, petits chocs minimes au niveau de la partie supérieure du dossier. Regarnis. Légères traces d'usure au niveau de l'assise, cohérente avec l'utilisation du fauteuil. Traces de colle au revers dues au fait que les fauteuils ont été regarnis. EN : Very good overall condition. Small scratches and minor dents particularly on the lower part of the armchairs. On one of the armchairs, small dents on the top of the back. Reupholstered. The fabric is slightly worn on the seating, consistent with use. Some glue resulting from the reupholstery on the back panels.
