Overall in very good condition. The wood surfaces present with minor surface scratches, nicks and some minor abrasions, consistent with age and gentle use and mostly concentrated to the lower portions of the legs. The upholstery in very good condition and with visible wear the black leather welding along the armrest. One chair with a small tear but no loss to the black leather welding located to the lower edge of the backrest (approx. 1/2 in.). The horsehair is in very good, clean condition. Recently oiled, the wood has a lovely grain that compliments the upholstery.
