Condition
Overall in very good condition. The wood surfaces present with minor surface scratches, nicks and some minor abrasions, consistent with age and gentle use. This work was designed as a valet and the seat is hinged to reveal a storage compartment and the back is deigned to store a coat. The edge of the storage compartment is lined with leather which shows minor discoloration and surface scratches consistent with age and gentle use, as it functions to dampen the closing of the seat. A functional and elegantly designed model.
