Condition

Illustration is accurate. Good overall condition. A few losses to the veneer. The varnish of the wood is rubbed and dry. These chairs would benefit from a new varnish to get back the nice colour of the mahogany. On one armchair : one small element of the back to reglue and a small restoration to an arm. The gilding of the swan heads is slightly tarnished. Rare model in the production of Jacob.
