Condition
Overall very good condition. The cream lacquered base with minor losses, nicks and scratches to paint as visible in the catalogue illustration. The chromium-plated metal of the frame in very good condition with faint evidence of wear. The halyard seat with minor wear to side edges and a few loose cords at the front edge of the seat. The upholstered head cushion with light discoloration on the exposed side from sun exposure. The sheepskin is not original and in good condition with minor surface dirt. A highly comfortable model, it was one of Wegner's favorite designs. This model presents very well overall.
