Each chair in overall very good condition. The wood surfaces present with minor surface scratches, nicks and some minor abrasions, consistent with age and gentle use. The wood surfaces have been lightly refreshed and present exceptionally well overall. There are areas of concentrated wear at the feet and side aprons, with some very minor discoloration, scuffs and scratches which are consistent with works of this age. The leather is recently replaced and is in new, clean condition. A rare model that demonstrates exceptional precision and thoughtfulness of design, a true hallmark of the collaborations between Wegner and cabinetmaker Johaness Hansen.
