Condition
Both chairs in overall good condition. The wood surfaces present with minor surface scratches, nicks and some minor abrasions, consistent with age and gentle use. The seat handles with light surface dirt and faint areas of darker coloration to the surface, consistent with gentle use. The cane is in good condition with no losses, breaks or visible repairs. There is variation to the cane coloration, consistent with the natural hue of each fiber, as well as some surface flaking as is consistent with this material over time. The folding hinges in good working order. The brass hinges with some tarnishing and faint surface scratches, likely due to the opening and closing of each chair. Please note this lot is sold with 2 hooks, not 3 as denoted in the cataloguing.
